Connecting speaker cables
1
Remove approximately 10 mm (0.4 in) of
insulation from the end of each speaker
cable and then twist bare wires of the cable
together so that they will not cause a short
circuits.
2
Loosen the knob, insert the twisted bare
wires into the hole and then tighten the knob.

Using bi-amplification connections
If you do not connect surround back speakers, you can use
the SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP jacks to make bi-
amplification connections to one speaker system which
supports bi-amplification connection as shown below.
To activate the connections, set “BI-AMP” to “ON” in the
advanced setup menu (page 60).
Note
•
You cannot use surround back speakers or extra speakers (presence and
Zone2 speakers) when bi-amplification connections are made.
Caution
•
A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently
or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the “+” (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the “–” (black) terminal of this
unit and the other end to that of your speaker.
•
Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.
•
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
speakers. If the circuit shorts out, “CHECK SP WIRES!” appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.
•
If images on the monitor (CRT) are distorted, place the speakers away from the video monitor.
•
Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in the advanced setup menu before
connecting the speakers (page 60). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set “SP IMP.” to
“6
Ω
MIN”.
Connecting the banana plug

the end of the terminal.

Caution
Before making bi-amplification connections, remove
any brackets or cables that connect a woofer with a
tweeter. Refer to the instruction manuals of speakers for
details.
When not making bi-amplification connections, make
sure that the brackets or cables are connected before
connecting the speaker cables.
