Connecting the Speakers—Continued

Speaker Connection Precautions

 

Making the Connections

 

 

 

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

Connect only speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher.

Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polar- ity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) ter- minals to only negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive and nega- tive wires. Doing so may damage the HTX-22HDX.

Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the HTX-22HDX.

Don’t connect a speaker to several termi- nals.

1 Remove the pre- cut insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly.

2 Push the lever to open

the hole, insert the bare wire into the hole, and then release the lever.

Make sure that the speaker terminals are grip- ping the bare wires, not the insulation.
