Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminal of the
unit and the speaker, and the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire
to the positive terminal.
1
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of
the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly
together.
2
Loosen the speaker terminal.
3
Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper
right or bottom left) of the terminal.
4
Tighten the terminal.

Connecting front speakers that support bi-amp
connections
When using front speakers that support bi-amp connections, connect them to the
FRONT terminals and SURROUND BACK/PRESENCE/BI-AMP/ZONE B terminals. For
details, see “Playing back more high-quality sounds with bi-amp
connections” (p.72).
Note
Surround back speakers, presence speakers or Zone B speakers cannot be used during bi-amp
connections.
Connecting Zone B speakers
The Zone A/B function allows you to playback an input source in the room where the
unit is installed (Zone A) and in another room (Zone B). To connect the Zone B
speakers, see “Playing back music in multiple rooms” (p.73).
Note
Surround back speakers, presence speakers or bi-amp speakers cannot be used during Zone B
connections.
