➤ Connecting speakers

En

Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit. 
The following diagrams provide connections for a 
5.1-channel system as an example. For other systems, 
connect speakers while referring to the connection 
diagram for the 5.1-channel system.

Speaker cables (x the number of speakers)

Audio pin cable (x1: for connecting a subwoofer)

■

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.

a 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.

b Loosen the speaker terminal.

c Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side 

(upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.

d Tighten the terminal.

(U.S.A., Canada, Australia and General models only)

a Tighten the speaker terminal.

b Insert a banana plug into the end of the terminal.

• Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn 

off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.

• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch 

one another or come into contact with the unit’s metal parts. 
Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker 
cables short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will appear on the front 
display when the unit is turned on.
