Di-pole speaker layout
Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used 
for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please 
place the surround and surround back speakers according 
to the speaker layout below.
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 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set 
this unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 
ohms before using (see page 25).
• 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 in) of 
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2
Twist the exposed wires of the cable together 
to prevent short circuits.
3
Loosen the knob.
The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for 
loosening or tightening knobs.
4
Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side 
of each terminal.
