6. CONNECTING SPEAkERS

• Be sure to connect speakers firmly and correctly according to the channel(left and right) and the polarity (+ and -). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connection is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• For installing the speakers, refer to "Speaker placement" on page 10.

• After installing the speakers, first adjust the speaker settings according to your environment and speaker layout. (For details, refer to

"SETTING THE SPEAKER /ROOM EQ SETUP" on page 47.)

■Surround back speakers

• When using only one surround back speaker, you should connect it to SURROUND BACK/ MULTI LEFT channel.

• Because this receiver cannot drive the surround back speakers and the ROOM 2 speakers simultaneously, you should assign their power amplifier correctly depending on how to use them. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING ROOM 2 OUTS" on page 12 and "When selecting the AMP Assign" on page 45.)

■Front Bi-Amp Connections.

• Some speakers are equipped with two sets of input terminals, for bi-amplification.

• If no other surround back speakers are used, you can connect the FRONT and the SURROUND BACK/MULTI channels to the bi- amp-capable speakers. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of your bi-amp-capable speakers.)

• To drive the bi-amp-capable speakers, you should assign the power amplifier to "Bi AMP".

■Note :

• Before making bi-amp connections, remove the short-circuiting bars from the terminals of your speakers.

Caution :

• Be sure to use the speakers with the impedance of 6 ohms or above.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the speakers.

• Never touch the speaker terminals while the AC input cord is connected to the wall AC outlet. Doing so could result in electric shocks.
