Connecting Your  Speakers—Continued

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

between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the 
connected speakers is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, 
be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 
ohms (see page 46). 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 amp protec-
tion circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before 

making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• 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 a speaker to several terminals.

The following illustration shows which speaker should 
be connected to each pair of terminals.
If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect 
it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS termi-
nals.
