■

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, China, Australia and General models only)

a Tighten the speaker terminal.

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

Use an audio pin cable to connect the subwoofer.

(RX-V575 only)

When using front speakers that support bi-amp 
connections, connect them to the FRONT jacks and 
SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/ZONE B jacks.

To enable the bi-amp function, set “Power Amp Assign” 
(p.71) in the “Setup” menu to “BI-AMP” after connecting 
the power cable to an AC wall outlet.

• The FRONT jacks and SURROUND BACK/BI-AMP/ZONE B jacks 

output the same signals.

(RX-V575 only)

The Zone A/B function allows you to playback an input 
source in the room where the unit is installed (Zone A) 
and in another room (Zone B). To connect the Zone B 
speakers, see “Playing back music in multiple rooms 
(RX-V575 only)” (p.61).

• Before making bi-amp connections, remove any brackets or 

cables that connect a woofer with a tweeter. Refer to the 
instruction manual of the speakers for details. If you are not 
making bi-amp connections, make sure that the brackets or 
cables are connected before connecting the speaker cables.

• Surround back speakers cannot be used during bi-amp 

connections.
