ENGLISH Connecting the external input (EXT. IN) jacks • These input jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals in high definition MUSE 3-1 format, multi-channel audio signals from an MPEG multi-channel decoder, or future multi-channel sound format, etc. • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. When connecting a high definition (MUSE 3-1 format) component, use a separately sold mono/stereo cable if the surround channel output is monaural. R ANTENNA 9kHz EXT. IN R L IN FR FL DVD LLOOP ANT.

Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired. • When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel. NOTE: NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks. Speaker Impedance • Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as surround and center speakers. • Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as front speakers. • Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω/ohms will lead to damage. • The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected. 1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise 2. Insert the cord. Connection the speaker terminals 3. Tighten by turning clockwise. Connecting banana plugs banana plug Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the banana plug. 10
