Integra DTR-10.5 instruction manual Connecting Speakers, Connecting to the Speaker Terminals

Connecting Speakers

Connecting to the Speaker Terminals

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-10.5.

For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use banana plugs/connectors.

You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the Speaker Impedance to “4 ohms” (see page 89). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

Notes:

•Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both the right and left channel terminals.

•To prevent circuitry damage, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

• Be sure to connect the positive and
negative cables for the speakers	NO!
properly. If they are mixed up, the
left and right signals will be
reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.

•Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-10.5.

Connecting the Speaker Cable

1.Strip away approx. 5/8 inch (15 mm) of the wire insulation.

2.Twist the wire ends tightly together.

3.Unscrew the speaker terminal cap.

4.Insert the exposed wire end.

5.Tighten speaker terminal cap.

Tip:

The terminal wrench that comes with this unit is a useful tool for tightening/ loosening the speaker terminal cap.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-10.5 are color coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals.
