Getting Started • Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result. • When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses. • Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine. To connect the speaker cords Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal. Note • Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack. Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord. Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal. Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation. After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 78. If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again. Note • Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted. Installing the speakers on the wall 1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker. See the illustrations below. continued 17US

To connect the speaker cords
Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the
speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 78.
