Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of 

 

. If you use speakers with a lower 

impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume lev-
els for a long period of time, the built-in protection 
circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before 

making any connections.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other 

words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive 
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way 
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound 
unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may 

affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the 

positive and negative wires. 
Doing so may damage the AV 
receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one 

cable to each speaker termi-
nal. Doing so may damage the 
AV receiver.

• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

The AV receiver’s positive (+) speaker terminals are 
color-coded for ease of identification. (The negative (–) 
speaker terminals are all black.)
