Connect Your Speakers
How to use the AVR’s speaker terminals:
1. Unscrew Cap
2. Insert Bare Wire
3. Tighten Cap
Always connect the colored (+) terminal on the AVR to the (+) terminal on the speaker
(usually red), and the black (–) terminal on the AVR to the (–) terminal on the speaker
(usually black).
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ( + ) and ( – ) bare wires do not touch each other or the
other terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your AVR.
Connect the speakers as shown in the illustration.
