Connecting the Speaker Cables
The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals. If you’re using only one
surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.
Tip
• You can specify whether surround back or front high speakers are connected in the “Speaker Configuration” menu (➔page 46) or
during Audyssey 2EQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup (➔page 31).
■Screw-type speaker terminals
Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from
the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.
■Banana Plugs (North American models)
• If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.
• Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.
■Push-type speaker terminals
Strip 3/8" to 1/2" (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.
