Connecting Speakers

Connecting Speakers

Before you connect your speakers, read the following:

•Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

•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 only to nega- tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.

•Only use speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower imped- ance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

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

•Be careful not to short the posi-

tive and negative connections. Doing so may damage the TX-L55.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-L55.

•If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker termi- nals, not both.
