Getting Started

Selecting the impedance

Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR for the front speakers as indicated in the table below. Check the instruction manual of your speakers if you’re not sure of the impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label on the back of the speaker.)

If the nominal impedance of	Set IMPEDANCE SELECTOR
your speaker is	to

Between 4 and 8 ohms	4Ω

8 ohms or higher	8Ω

Note

Be sure to connect the front speakers with nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher if you want to select both sets of front speakers (see page 12).

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord:

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, refer to “Adjusting the speaker volume” on page 10.

If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound field on the receiver before outputting a test tone so that the tone is output individually from the left and right rear speakers.

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 whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speakers may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
