Connecting Your Speakers
Disconnect the power cord from the wall 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.
•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 between 4 and 16 ohms.
•When you connect speakers to both SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B terminal posts and output sound from both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers whose impedance is between 8 and 16 ohms.
Note:
If you make an incorrect setting for the speakers or the impedance values, the

•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.
