Connecting speakers
• Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+”
(red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no
sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the
speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and
lack bass.
• Connect the speaker cables with care to avoid creating a short
circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this
unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automati-
cally shuts off the power.
After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to
change the signal output settings according to the number and size
of the speakers in your configuration.

Europe and U.K. models)
