Connecting the Speakers-Continued Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting any speakers: • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections. • You can connect speakers with an impedance of 8 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. • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, 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. • Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver. • Don't connect one speaker to several terminals. Connecting Speaker Set A The AV receiver's positive (+) speaker terminals and the speaker's positive (+) terminals are color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (-) speaker terminals are all black.) Match the color of each cable to the corresponding speaker terminal. 1 Strip 5/8" (15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. 5/8" (15 mm) 2 On the AV receiver, loosen the terminals. Fully insert the bare wires, making sure that they touch the threaded shaft. Screw the terminal tight. 3 On the speakers, loosen the binding posts.

Connecting the Speakers
—Continued
Read the following before connecting any speakers:
•
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before
making any connections.
•
You can connect speakers with an impedance of
8 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower
impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume lev-
els for a long period of time, the built-in protection
circuit may be activated.
•
Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-
tive (–) 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.
•
Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker termi-
nal. Doing so may damage the
AV receiver.
•
Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals and the
speaker’s positive (+) terminals are color-coded for ease
of identification. (The negative (–) speaker terminals are
all black.) Match the color of each cable to the corre-
sponding speaker terminal.
Speaker Connection Precautions
Connecting Speaker Set A
1
Strip 5/8" (15 mm) of insu-
lation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist
the bare wires tightly.
2
On the AV receiver, loosen the terminals. Fully
insert the bare wires, making sure that they touch
the threaded shaft. Screw the terminal tight.
3
On the speakers, loosen
the binding posts. Insert
the speaker wires into
the binding posts, then
tighten the binding posts.
4
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the AV
receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to the
subwoofer’s LINE INPUT jack.
Make sure the plug is pushed in all the way.
Connecting Speaker Set B
(not included)
1
Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-
lation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist
the bare wires tightly.
2
While pressing the lever, insert
the wire into the hole, and then
release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the
insulation.
