Connections Connecting speakers Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red) and "-" (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately. Caution • Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 33). • Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. • Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor. • If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set "SPEAKER IMP." to "6Ω MIN" before using this unit (see page 33). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (see page 117). Notes • A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the "-" (black) terminals. • You can use the SP1 terminals to connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers as well as the presence speakers (see page 111). • You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, however they do not output sound simultaneously. This unit automatically switches the presence speakers and surround back speakers depending on the input sources and the selected sound field programs. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the "PRIORITY" parameter in "MANUAL SETUP" (see page 82). ■ For the 7.1-channel speaker setting Subwoofer Surround back speakers Presence speakers Left Right Right Left Center speaker 16 En SUB WOOFER PRE OUT SPEAKERS SP1 R PRESENCE/ZONE 2/ZONE 3 L + + SURROUND BACK/ CENTER R BI-AMP L + SINGLE + + R SURROUND L SP2 + + ZONE 2/ZONE 3 R L + R FRONT L + + Right Left Surround speakers Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers (see page 111) Right Left Front speakers
