Twist the stripped ends of the speaker
cords about 10 mm and insert the
speaker cords securely to the back of
the speaker plug.
Make sure that the speaker cord is inserted
according to its polarity: + to + and – to –.
Otherwise, the sound will be distorted and
will lack bass.

Insert the hexagon wrench into one of
the screw holes and turn the hexagon
wrench until the speaker cord is
secured in the speaker plug.
Be sure to do the same for the other screw
hole.
Tips
To avoid the speaker cord from coming off from the
speaker plug
• do not use a smaller-sized speaker cord. We
recommend that you use the AWG24 to AWG14
speaker cord size.
• use the same speaker cord size for all the speaker
plugs.
• twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords.
• insert the speaker cord securely to the back of the
speaker plug.
Note
If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output
on the speakers.
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, the stripped end of
another speaker cord, or the metal parts of
the speakers.
Examples of poor conditions of the
speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another
speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other
due to excessive removal of insulation.
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,
see page 16.
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.
