Connecting Your Speakers-Continued Connecting Your Speakers Before you connect your speakers, read the following: • Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. • Read the instructions supplied with your speakers. • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals only to negative (-) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd. • Only use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 6 ohms may damage the TX-SR502/ TX-SR502E. • 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 connections. Doing so may damage the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E. • Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-SR502/TX-SR502E. • If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not both.
