Connecting the Receiver
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before making any connections.
Speaker Connection Precautions
The receiver allows you to connect two sets of speakers. When two sets of speakers are connected, you can select which speaker set outputs sound or use both sets to output sound simultaneously. ( page 19 about “Speakers A” and “Speakers B”)
• When you connect one set of speakers to either |
SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminal posts, or |
when you connect two sets of speakers to both speaker |
terminal posts and output sound only from either |
speaker set, use speakers whose impedance is 4 to |
16 Ω, and set the speaker impedance setting on the |
receiver to 4 or 6 Ω ( page 12). When the impedance |
of the speaker to be used is less than 6 Ω, set the |
speaker impedance to 4 Ω. |
• When you connect speakers to both SPEAKERS A |
and SPEAKERS B terminal posts and output sound |
from both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers |
whose impedance is 8 to 16 Ω. Set the speaker |
impedance setting on the receiver to 4 Ω. |
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers. |
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other |
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) |
terminals, and negative |
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the |
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. |
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Strip about 5/8" (15 mm) | 5/8" (15 mm) |
1 of insulation from the |
|
ends of the speaker |
|
cables, and twist the |
|
bare wires tightly, as |
|
shown. |
|
2 Unscrew the terminal. |
|
3 Fully insert the bare wire.
4 Screw the terminal tight.
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.
• | Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may |
| affect the sound quality and should be avoided. |
• | Be careful not to short the |
| positive and negative wires. |
Doing so may damage the receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the receiver.
•Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of speaker terminals.
