Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.
• A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a
stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the
plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
• You can use the SP1 terminals to connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers as well as the presence speakers (see page 118).

Caution
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 33).
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.
• If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6
Ω
MIN” before using this unit (see
page 33). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers (see page 122).
