• 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 TX-DS797.
• Connect your surround back speaker to the SURR BACK
SPEAKER terminals (see page 20).
Connecting speakers
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16
Ω to
the TX-DS797. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4
and 6
Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting
accordingly (see page 28).
• To prevent damage to circuitry,
never short-circuit the positive (+)
and negative (–) speaker wire.
NO!
