CHAPTER 2
Output Connections
Speaker-Level Outputs
The Receiver's speaker output
posts accept bare wire, speaker lugs,
dual-banana and single-banana con-
nectors. Use good quality speaker
connectors and speaker wire.
If you are using banana
plugs, make sure the Receiv-
er's output posts are fully
tightened by hand.
Always turn off the Receiver
when you make speaker con-
nections.
It is very important to check
that the negative and positive
speaker wires do not touch.
This will prevent damage to the
Receiver's internal ampli
Þ
ers.

The Receiver can be con
Þ
gured
so the Aux speaker outputs power
the surround back, side-axis, or Zone
2 speakers. See page 41 for more
details.
The top
Þ
ve speaker outputs are
Þ
xed, and connect to your front, cen-
ter and surround speakers.
Line-Level Outputs
The line-level audio outputs can be
connected to external power ampli-
Þ
ers and powered subwoofers. For
an example, if you choose the Aux
speaker outputs to power your sur-
round back speakers, you could use
an external ampli
Þ
er to power side-
axis speakers, and a second power
ampli
Þ
er to power Zone 2 speakers.
