5 minute guide 02 3 Connect your speakers. A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone's home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best. Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/-) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6-16Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 71 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8Ω).

Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home setup will vary.
Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers
(the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (
+
/
–
) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use
speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16
Ω
(please see
Switching the speaker impedance
on page 71 if you
plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8
Ω
).
•
If you only have one surround back speaker, hook it up to the surround back left (
Single
) terminal.
Caution
•
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.
Use good quality speaker wire to connect the
speakers to the receiver.
Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is
properly prepared with about
3
/
8
in. (10 mm) of insulator
stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands
twisted together (
fig. A
).
To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns
until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire
(
fig. B
). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal
until the wire is firmly clamped (
fig. C
).
