Connecting speakers

Connecting speakers

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-7.3.

Caution:

Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 to the DTR-7.3. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 , be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (see page 41).

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.

Using the speaker labels

The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-7.3 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.

The speaker channels are colored as follows: Front left speaker (+): White

Front right speaker (+): Red

Center speaker (+): Green

Surround left speaker (+): Blue

Surround right speaker (+): Grey

Surround back/Zone 2 left speaker (+): Brown

Surround back/Zone 2 right speaker (+): Tan

Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers 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-7.3.

Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK SPEAKERS/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (see page 24).
