Tip

Connect the speaker cable after bending the speaker wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker cable from being caught in the SPEAKER jack.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and mains lead, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 62.

If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed on the TV screen, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Note

Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
