Yamaha HTR-5630RDS owner manual  How to connect speaker cables, Before connecting, How to Connect

●Connect the main, center and rear speakers (and rear center speaker for NS-P106) to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier with the provided speaker cables.

*The provided speaker cables have labels marked

FRONT L, FRONT R, CENTER, REAR L, REAR R (and REAR C for NS-P106). Connect each speaker cable to the corresponding speaker by following the figure on page 7.

(The speaker cables marked FRONT L/R are used for connecting the main speakers to the MAIN speakers’ terminals on the amplifier.)

*Connect each speaker making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If the speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

*For the main and rear speakers only, connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R) terminals.

●Connect the subwoofer to the line output (pin jack) terminal(s) of the amplifier.

*To connect with a YAMAHA DSP amplifier (or AV receiver), connect the SUBWOOFER (or LOW PASS etc.) terminal on the rear of the DSP amplifier (or AV receiver) to the L/MONO INPUT terminal of the subwoofer.

*To connect the subwoofer to the SPLIT SUBWOOFER terminals on the rear of the DSP amplifier, connect them to both the left L/MONO and right R INPUT terminals of the subwoofer.

Note

When connecting to a monaural line output terminal of the amplifier, connect to the L/MONO INPUT terminal.

How to connect speaker cables

For connections, keep the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up the excess part of the cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers.

Before connecting

Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the coating off.

One side of the provided speaker cable has a white broken line and the other side has no line.

Connect the (+) terminals on both the speaker and the amplifier using the side with a white broken line. Connect the (–) terminals on both components using the side with no line.

How to Connect:

1Press and hold the terminal’s tab, as shown in the figure.

2Insert the bare wire.

3Release your finger from the tab to allow it to lock securely on the cable’s wire end.

4Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the terminal.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

White broken line

Note

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both of them.
