Use only an amp that supports this impedance. • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals to only negative (-) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural. • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
Turn off your amp before making any connections.
The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8
. Use
only an amp that supports this impedance.
Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,
and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-
nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound
will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative wires. Doing so
may damage your amp.
Tip:
You can make cable identification easier by attaching
the color-coded speaker labels supplied with the
Onkyo DR-S2.2 DVD Receiver or other Onkyo amp
or receiver to the positive (+) side of each speaker
cable, in accordance with the following table.
