Onkyo FR-N3X - Manual (Page 8)

Notes
• Connecting the left and right speakers reversely or with incorrect polarities can cause unnatural or distorted sound.
• The load impedance of each speaker must be between 4 and 16 ohms. Connecting speakers with less than 4 ohms imped-
ance could damage the amplifier.
• To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the positive (+) and negative (–) speaker wires.
• Do not connect the speaker cord to the L and R connec-
tors at the same time (example 1). Do not connect more
than two speaker connectors to the same speaker (exam-
ple 2).

Connecting a subwoofer
The FR-N3X has a SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack. Connect an active subwoofer (a subwoofer that contains an
amplifier), or connect an amplifier to the FR-N3X, then connect a non-active subwoofer to the amplifier.
