To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the
receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the
following precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does
not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end
of another speaker cord.
After connecting all the components, speakers and AC
power cord, output a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly. For details on
outputting a test tone, refer to "Adjusting the speaker
volume", on page 17.
If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press
the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound field on
the receiver before outputting a test tone so that the
tone is output individually from the left and right rear
speakers.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a
test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other
than the one whose name is currently displayed on the
receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
