Connecting speakers

Connecting speakers

After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-SR700/ 700E/600/600E.

Caution:

•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-SR700/700E/600/600E.

•When you listen to surround audio or select Multichannel, be sure to turn on SPEAKERS A.

•Connect only speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16 Ω to the TX-SR700/700E/600/600E. Connecting speakers with an impedance lower than 6 Ω may damage the amplifier.

•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.

SPEAKER B (TX-SR600/600E only)

1.Strip away approx. 3/8 inch (10 mm) of the wire insulation.

2.Twist the wire ends tightly together.

3.Press the lever to open the terminal.

4.Insert the exposed wire end.

5.Release the lever to close the terminal. Leave some of the exposed wire showing outside the terminal.

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

(+) and negative (–) speaker wires.

Connecting a subwoofer

Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier.

Connecting to the SPEAKERS B terminals (TX-SR600/600E only)

If you require an additional set of front speakers (left and right), such as for use in another room, connect them to the FRONT SPEAKERS B inputs.
