Hookups (continued)
Connecting Speaker Systems
Make sure you match the + and - of the speaker cord to the +/- diagram on the speaker terminals. If the cords are reversed, the
sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
Selecting the impedance
Select the impedance for the front and center speakers.
If nominal impedance of
your speaker is:
Set the IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR to:
4 ohms or higher 4D
8 ohms or higher 80
• If you are using both FRONT SPEAKERS A and B systems,
use the speakers having nominal impedance of more than
8 ohms and set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the 4 Q
position.
Deciding where to place your speakers
To get the optimum surround sound effect, connect both
front and rear speakers. If you have a center speaker, place it
between both left and right front speakers.
Even though you do not have a full set of speakers, the
receiver is designed to give the best possible surround sound
effect. For details, see "Selecting the Center Mode" on page
24.
Connecting the AC Power
Connect the power cord from this receiver to a wall outlet. If
you connect other audio components to the SWITCHED AC
OUTLET on the receiver, the receiver will supply power to
the connected components only when the receiver is turned
on.
