 Connecting the Speakers

Required cords

The connector and color tube of the speaker cords are the same color as the label of the jacks to be 
connected.

Note

• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these 
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch 
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord, such as shown below.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to 
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 85.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker 
other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this 
happens, check the speaker connection again.

Note

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components:

, and

 to

. If the cords 

are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

operating instructions supplied with the TV to be connected.
