Connecting the AV receiver Connecting Your Speakers Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers: • You can connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated. • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections. • Read the instructions supplied with your speakers. • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals to only negative (-) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. • Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided. • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. FRONT SPEAKERS A OTHERS Connecting the Speaker Cables The AV receiver's positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification.
