Onkyo TX-NR801 Owner Manual - Page 18

Connecting Speakers After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. For the USA and Canadian models, you can also use banana plugs/connectors. Caution: Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16 Ω to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4 and 6 Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting accordingly (See page 30). Notes: • Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural (mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals. • Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E. • Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (See page 66). Using the Speaker Cable Labels The positive speaker terminals on the TX-NR801/ TX-NR801E are color coded for easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the corresponding terminals. Speaker cable label Speaker cable label R + L + R + L + - - R L • To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (-) speaker wire. • Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural. Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier. - R - L TX-NR801/TX-NR801E The speaker channels are colored as follows: Front left speaker (+): White Front right speaker (+): Red Center speaker (+): Green Surround left speaker (+): Blue Surround right speaker (+): Grey Surround back/Zone 2 left speaker (+): Brown Surround back/Zone 2 right speaker (+): Tan Front right Subwoofer speaker Front left speaker Surround right speaker Surround left speaker 18 DIGITAL IN COAX 1 PRE OUT R L FRONT ANTENNA AUDIO VIDEO S VIDEO MONITOR OUT COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT Y 2 3 OPT 1 SUB CENTER SURR SURR BACK / R L ZONE 2 AM OUT ZONE 2 R L IN DVD FM 75 OUT PB PR INPUT 1 Y VIDEO 1 Connecting the speaker cable FRONT MULTI CH 2 R INPUT L AUDIO R L IN PB 3 1.
