SPEAKER SETUP
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), 
“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are 
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the 
polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound 
will be unnatural and lack bass.
If you will use 4 or 6 ohm speakers, be sure to 
set this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 4 
ohms before using (see page 23).
Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the 
power of this unit is off.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do 
not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This 
could damage this unit and/or speakers.
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of 
speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, 
place the speakers away from the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables 
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped 
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. 
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) 
terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain 
cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
1
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of 
insulation from the end of each speaker 
cable.
2
Twist the exposed wires of the cable together 
to prevent short circuits.
3
Unscrew the knob.
4
Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side 
of each terminal.
5
Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
Connecting to PRESENCE/ZONE 2 or 
PRESENCE speaker terminals
1
Open the tab.
2
Insert one bare wire into the hole of each 
terminal.
3
Return the tab to secure the wire.
Banana plug connections
(With the exception of U.K. and Europe models) 
First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug 
connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.
y
You can also use banana plugs with the PRESENCE/ZONE 2 and 
PRESENCE speaker terminals. Open the tab, then insert one 
banana plug connector into the hole of each terminal. Do not 
attempt to close the tabs after connecting the banana plugs.
