Connections Connecting the speaker cable Caution • A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the "+" (red) terminal of this unit and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the "-" (black) terminal of this unit and the other end to that of your speaker. • Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable. • Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. If the circuit shorts out, "CHECK SP WIRES!" appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned on. • Use magnetically shielded speakers. If images on the monitor are still distorted even when you use the magnetically shielded speakers, place the speakers away from the monitor. • Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in "ADVANCED SETUP" before connecting the speakers (see page 45). ■ Connecting to the FRONT terminals 1 Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable and then twist bare wires of the cable together so that they will not cause a short circuits. 10 mm (0.4 in) ■ Connecting to the CENTER and SURROUND terminals 1 Press down the tab and insert the bare end of the speaker cable into the hole in the terminal.
