Sony STR-AV880 Operating Instructions - Page 26

SPEAKER CONNECTION POWER SOURCE CONNECTION Two speaker systems, A and B, can be selected individually or simultaneously by means of the front panel SPEAKERS selectors. Note that no sound will be heard if only one of the speaker systems is connected and the SPEAKERS selector A and B are depressed. Speaker impedance and power capability This receiver is designed to work best with speakers having nominal impedance from 8 to 16 ohms, and rated at 80 watts (STR-AV780) or 110 watts (STR-AV880) minimum RMS per channel with an 8-ohm load from 20 - 20,000 Hz. Be sure not to use speakers, with impedance less than 8 ohms and to use adequate power handling capabilities. Speaker cord connection 1 2 Polarity of the AC power cord A white mark is visible on one lead of the power cord and one plug is larger than the other. This will help you align the AC power cord polarity with the AC outlet polarity in order to operate the receiver and other components in the system "in phase". The larger plug of the AC power cord of the receiver should be inserted into the negative potential of the polarized AC outlet. This plug cannot be inserted into the unpolarized AC outlet. AC outlets (switched) Equipment consuming up to 100 watts can be connected to these outlets. These outlets are controlled by the front panel SYSTEM POWER switch. Caution Do not connect any electrical home appliance such as an electric iron, fan, TV, video cassette recorder or other highwattage equipment to these AC outlets.
