■Using Speaker Cords

A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable you plan to use for which polarity (+ and –), and always connect the speaker cords consistently.

1Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of insulation from the ends of the cables.

2Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.

3Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise.

4Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of the terminal, and tighten the terminal knob.

Note:

•If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for Europe and UK Models)

Caution:

•Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automatically shuts off the power.

■Connecting the Main Speakers

Before connecting any speaker cords, identify which terminals are for the right and left channels and also the + and – polarities. If you connect speakers with the wrong polarity (+ to –), the DSP-AX1 will not reproduce clear sound.

Connect the + and –terminals of your right and left Main speakers to the L and R MAIN + and –terminals on this unit.

■Connecting the Center Speaker

Connect the + terminal of your Center speaker to the CENTER + terminal and the –terminal of your Center speaker to the CENTER – terminal.
