Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.

nn Connecting 7.1-channel speakers using surround back speakers (vpage 83) nn Connecting 7.1-channel speakers using front height speakers (vpage 84)

nn Connecting 6.1-channel speakers using one surround back speaker (vpage 85) nn Connecting 5.1-channel speakers (vpage 86)

nn Connecting front A/B speakers (vpage 87) nn Connecting 2.1-channel speakers (vpage 88)

nn Connecting front speakers with a bi-amp connection (vpage 89) nn Connecting a front speaker that uses a power amplifier (vpage 90)

NOTE

•Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.

•Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (vpage 151 “Protection Circuit”).

•Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

•Use speakers with the speaker impedances shown below.

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

1 Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

3 Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.

4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
