Notes on speaker system hookup

Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

The WIRELESS REAR SPEAKER jack is for use with Sony wireless rear speaker systems only, do not connect any other speaker systems or components to this jack.
