Connecting a subwoofer
Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer with
a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in
amplifier, connect an amplifier to the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack
and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
Connecting to the SPEAKERS B terminals
(DTR-5.3 only)
If you require an additional set of front speakers (left and right), such
as for use in another room, connect them to the FRONT SPEAKERS
B inputs.
Connecting speakers
Connecting speakers
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now
necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-6.3/5.3.
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 6 and 16
Ω to
the DTR-6.3/5.3. Connecting speakers with an impedance lower
than 6
Ω may damage the amplifier.
Notes:
• Be sure to connect the positive (+) and negative (–) cables for the
speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals
will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-6.3/5.3.
• When you listen to surround audio or select Multichannel, be
sure to turn on SPEAKERS A.
• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural
(mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both
the right and left-channel terminals.
• To prevent damage to circuitry,
never short-circuit the positive
(+) and negative (–) speaker
wires.
Connecting the speaker cable
1. Strip away approx. 5/8 inch (15 mm)
of the wire insulation.
2. Twist the wire ends tightly together.
3. Unscrew the speaker terminal cap.
4. Insert the exposed wire end.
5. Screw down the speaker terminal
cap.
