• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the

speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals
will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.

• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker

terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-DS898.

• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you

will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK
SPEAKERS/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (see page 24).

Connecting speakers

Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16

Ω

the TX-DS898. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4
and 6

Ω

, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting

accordingly (see page 31).

• To prevent damage to circuitry,

never short-circuit the positive (+)
and negative (–) speaker wire.

NO!

Notes:

• When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to

monaural (mono) sound, a single speaker should never be
connected in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals
simultaneously.
