Connecting the speakers
A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone’s home setup will vary.
Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers
(the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best
for surround sound. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see
Speaker Setting on page 44)
to large.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (
+ / – ) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.
• You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16 Ω (please see Switching the speaker impedance on
page 74 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω ).
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.
Note
• If you only have one surround back speaker, hook it
up to the surround back left ( Single ) terminal.
• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers,
or setting up a separate speaker system in another
room, read through
Surround back speaker setting on
page 38 and make sure to connect your speakers as
necessary (these connections are explained in
Other
connections on page 56).
Caution
• Make sure no bare speaker wire is touching the back
panel when the unit is switched on. The power may
cut off as a safety measure.
Speaker terminals
1 Twist exposed wire strands together.
2 Loosen speaker terminal and insert exposed
wire.
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. Use
good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the
receiver.
3 Tighten terminal.
