Connecting speakers

Connecting speakers

After installing the speakers, connect them to the TX-DS494.

To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive

(+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

CAUTION:

SPEAKER IMPEDANCE

6 min. per each speaker terminal.

Preparation of speaker cords

1. Strip away 15 mm (5/8 inch) of wire insulation.

2. Twist wire ends very tight.

Connecting the speaker cord 1. Loosen the screw.

15mm (5/8")

NO!

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.

Connect speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16 . Connecting speakers with an impedance less that 6 may damage the TX-DS494.

Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-DS494.

When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to monaural (mono) sound, a single speaker should never be connected in parallel to both the right and left- channel terminals simultaneously.

NO!NO!

2. Fully insert the end of the cord.
