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:

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation

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 17.

If you have connected surround speakers, be sure to press the DVD/MULTI CH 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 surround 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 speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
