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.
