Doing so can result in humming or noise. Subwoofer with built-in amplifier Speaker SC-M37 (Supplied) (R) (L) */ wq wq 8 Connecting the speaker cables Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and - (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly. 1 Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or apply solder to it. 2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it. 3 Insert the speaker cable's core wire to all the way into the speaker terminal. 4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it. NOTE • Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω. The protection circuit may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than specified are used. • Connect the speaker cables so they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other (v "Protection circuit"). • Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. Protection circuit The protection circuit is be activated in the following situations: • If the speaker cable wire touches the rear panel or screws or if the speaker cable wire touches the speaker cable's + and - sides are touching • If the surrounding temperature is extremely high • If the inside of the amplifier gets hot to extended use at a high output If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections of the speaker cables and input cables. If the unit becomes very hot, wait for it to cool off and improve the ventilation around it. After doing this, plug the power cord back in. If the protection circuit is activated even though there are no problems with the ventilation around the unit or in connections, the unit may be damaged. Turn off the power and then contact a DENON service center.
