z You can turn on/off the power of the rear speakers using the switch on the lower side panel of each rear
speaker. The indicator on each rear speaker changes as follows: subwoofer power on/data received (green);
subwoofer power on/no data (blinks green); subwoofer power off (red).
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does
not touch another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor instllation of the speaker cords
After connecting all the components, speakers, and the 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 34.
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 currently displayed in the front panel display, the speaker may be
short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Note
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
Stripped cords are touching
each other due to excessive
removal of insulation. Stripped speaker cord is
touching another speaker
terminal.
