Connecting Speakers

Connecting to the Speaker Terminals

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E.

For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use banana plugs/connectors.

Caution:

Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 to the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 , be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 89).

Notes:

Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both the right and left channel terminals.

RL

To prevent circuitry damage, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wire.

• 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.

Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E.

Connecting the Speaker Cable

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

2.Twist the wire ends tightly together.

3.Unscrew the speaker terminal cap.

4.Insert the exposed wire end.

5.Tighten speaker terminal cap.

Attaching the Speaker Labels

The positive speaker terminals on the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E are color coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals.
