CAUTION

•These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

•Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal option:

•SPA – Sound is output from the speakers connected to the A-speaker terminals (multichannel playback is possible).

•SPB – Sound is output from the two speakers connected to the B-speaker terminals (only stereo playback is possible).

•SPAB – Sound is output from the A- speaker terminals, the two speakers in the B-speaker terminals, and the subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only when the STEREO or ALC mode is selected for stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.

•SP– No sound is output from the speakers.

Note

1All speaker terminals (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.

2The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 45. However, if SPB is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
