Connecting Speakers-Continued Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers: • You can connect speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated. • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections. • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals to only negative (-) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. • Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided. • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. • Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. • Don't connect one speaker to several terminals.

Fully insert the bare wires. Make sure that the bare wire is touching the inside of the pole. Screw the terminal tight. 2 On the speakers, while pressing the terminal lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. 3 Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the AV receiver's SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to LINE INPUT on the subwoofer. Make sure the cable is plugged all the way. Connecting Speaker Set B (sold separately) 1 Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. 2 While pressing the lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation. 3/8" (10 mm) Note: When speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback. 19
