Speaker system connections

Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (< with <, > with >). Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.

When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.

NOTE:

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Do not use soeaker cords with a diameter of over 1.5 mm. Doing so may damage the speaker terminals. (for FRONT SPEAKER B,

SURROUND SPEAKER)

ENGLISH

Speaker Impedance

When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as front speakers.

Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 /ohms.

Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as center and surround speakers.

The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected.

Precautions when connecting speakers

If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by the speaker’s magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position where it does not have this effect.
