Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo
speakers (the front speakers in the diagram)
but using at least three speakers is
recommended, and a complete setup is best
for surround sound.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the
right to the right (
R) terminal and the speaker
on the left to the left ( L) terminal. Also make
sure the positive and negative ( +/–) terminals
on the receiver match those on the speakers.
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the
front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on
page 33) to
LARGE.
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.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.
