Speaker Configuration

The following table indicates the channels you should use

depending on the number of speakers that you have.

No matter how many speakers you use, a passive

subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid

bass.

To get the best from your surround sound system, you

need to set the speaker settings manually (➔ page 29).

Connecting the Speaker Cables

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are

color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–)

speaker terminals are all black.)

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between

6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower

impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels

for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection

circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

• 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 unnatural.

• 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 wires.

Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have

contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may

damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker

terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.
