Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but

using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround

sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on

the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the

receiver match those on the speakers.

You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Bare wire connections

CAUTION

•

These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric

shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord

before touching any uninsulated parts.

•

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the

speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the

power to cut off as a safety measure.

Front speaker terminals:

Twist exposed wire strands together.

Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.

Tighten terminal.

Center and surround speaker terminals:

Twist exposed wire strands together.

Push open the tabs and insert exposed wire.

Release the tabs.
