Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect 

positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and 
negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If 
you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out 
of phase and will sound odd.

• If you’re connecting two sets of speakers (i.e., speaker set 

A 

 

 speaker set B), the minimum impedance for each 

speaker is 8 

 

Ω

 

. If you’re connecting only one set of speak-

ers (i.e., speaker set A 

 

 speaker set B), the minimum 

impedance for each speaker is 4 

 

Ω

 

. Don’t connect speak-

ers with a lower impedance.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may 

affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the positive 

and negative connections. Doing so 
may damage your CR-L5.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to 

each speaker terminal. Doing so may 
damage your CR-L5.

• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair 

of speakers, don’t connect it to both the left and right 
speaker terminals.

You can use two sets of speakers with your CR-L5: speaker 
set A and speaker set B.

The following illustration shows how you should connect your speakers.

15 mm (5/8")

The SUBWOOFER PRE OUT should be 
connected to the input on your active 
subwoofer. If your subwoofer doesn’t have an 
amp built-in, you’ll need to use an external 
amp. See the manual supplied with your 
subwoofer for more information.
