Sony DAV-DX150 Manual

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the 
speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.

• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these 
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch 
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to 
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 78.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker 
other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this 
happens, check the speaker connection again.

• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords 

are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

Stripped speaker cord is 
touching another speaker 
terminal.

Stripped cords are touching each 
other due to excessive removal of 
insulation.
