Connecting speakers
Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit.
Precaution for connecting of the speaker cables
Improper connecting of the speaker cables may cause short circuit and also damage the unit
or the speakers.
• Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before
connecting the speakers.
• Twist the bare wires of the speaker cables firmly together.
• Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable touch one another.
• Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable come into contact with the unit's metal parts
(rear panel and screws).
If “Check SP Wires” appear on the front display when the unit is turned on, turn off the unit, and
then check the speaker cables short circuit.
Speakers to be connected
If you have nine speakers, you can connect the both surround back speakers and front
presence speakers. In this case, the unit automatically changes the speakers to be used,
depending on the input signal and CINEMA DSP.
If you have seven speakers, use two of them as surround back speakers (*1) or front presence
speakers (*2).
If you have five speakers, use two of them as surround speakers (*3) or front presence speakers
(*4).
