•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Connections

Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

•By default, speakers for 5.1-channel surround are configured to use: front right/front left /center/ surround right/surround left/subwoofer.

■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.

1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm)

■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.
