2: Setting/Connecting Speakers
Set up and connect the speakers according to the number of speakers that you are using.
This manual describes the installation, connections, and setting procedures using the stereo
speaker system with A/B speakers as an example.
• Connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms.
• When you connect all the speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, set “SP IMP.” to
“8 OHM”. In other connections, set it to “6 OHM”. For details, see “6: Setting the Speakers” (page 19).
• Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables
are not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals or on the receiver rear panel. If the wires
are touching, it may result in damage to the amplifier circuit.
Connect speaker cables with the pola (red)/– (black) matched between the receiver
and the speakers as illustrated below.
Strip the jacket to 10 mm (13/32 in) at each end of the speaker cables, and then tightly twist
the speaker wire strands. Insert the stripped ends of the cables into the terminals as
illustrated below.
• Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker
cables from touching each other.
• Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.
