Caution:
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.
Speaker terminals
Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
1 Twist about 10 mm of bare wire strands together.
2 Push in the speaker terminal tab and insert the wire.
3 Release speaker terminal tab, it should snugly grip the speaker wire.

Before hooking up your speakers
affix the color-coded stickers with
the appropriate names (for
example, “front right”) to the
speaker wire so you always know
which speaker each wire is
connected to.
While pressing down the
speaker tab push the
speaker wire into the
terminal and release
speaker terminal tab.
When you’re
hooking up your
subwoofer make
sure its power cord
is disconnected.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.
Connecting Speakers
A full complement of five speakers is shown here but, naturally, everyone’s home setup will vary. Simply connect the
speakers you have in the manner described below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (called “front”
speakers in the diagram) but we recommend you use five speakers. If you don’t hook up surround speakers you
need to adjust the Listening mode settings (see page 30).
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
MEMO:
• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 6
Ω to 16 Ω.
