Connections

CAUTION

• If you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE) 

indicated on the rear of the center unit.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.
• When installing the satellite speakers on the wall;

– Be sure to have them installed on the wall by qualified personnel. 

DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from falling off the wall due to 
incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.

– Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may 

result if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.

Precautions for daily use

• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords; otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.
• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that the sound is distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by 

internal heat buildup.

Connecting the speakers and subwoofer

• Connect the black cords to the black (–) terminals.
• Connect the white cords to the red (+) terminals.
