Preparations Hookups Connecting Speakers This section explains how to connect speakers to the DSP-AX1. After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to change the signal output settings according to the number and size of the speakers in your configuration. BANANA PLUG [Except for Europe and UK models] Right Main Speaker A Left Main Speaker A s Using Speaker Cords A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. To make sure you always connect speakers with the correct polarity, determine the difference between the cables of your speaker cord, make a note of which cable you plan to use for which polarity (+ and -), and always connect the speaker cords consistently. 1 Strip off 9 mm (3/8 in.) of insulation from the ends of the cables. 2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits. 3 Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclockwise. 4 Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the slot in the side of the terminal, and tighten the terminal knob. Note: • If your speaker cords have banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob and insert the plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for Europe and UK Models) Caution: • Connect the speaker cords with care to avoid creating a short circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automatically shuts off the power. s Connecting the Main Speakers Before connecting any speaker cords, identify which terminals are for the right and left channels and also the + and - polarities. If you connect speakers with the wrong polarity (+ to -), the DSP-AX1 will not reproduce clear sound.
