Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a 
positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to 
match these up with the terminals on the speakers 
themselves.
 CAUTION
• These  speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE 
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when 
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, 
disconnect the power cord before touching any 
uninsulated parts.
• Make  sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted 
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. 
If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel 
it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Banana plug connections
If you want to use speaker cables terminated with banana 
plugs, screw the speaker terminal fully shut, then plug 
the banana plug into the end of the speaker terminal.
 Important
• Please refer to the manual that came with your 
speakers for details on how to connect the other end 
of the speaker cables to your speakers.
• Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not 
possible to connect using speaker cables.
 CAUTION
• Make  sure that all speakers are securely installed. 
This not only improves sound quality, but also 
reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from 
speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of 
external shocks such as earthquakes.
