Selecting the impedance
Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR for the front
speakers as indicated in the table below. Check the
instruction manual of your speakers if you’re not sure
of the impedance. (This information is usually printed
on a label on the back of the speaker.)
Note
Be sure to connect the front speakers with nominal
impedance of 8 ohms or higher if you want to select both
sets of front speakers (see page 12).
Rear and center 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 or the stripped end
of another speaker cord.
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, refer to “Adjusting the speaker
volume” on page 10.
If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press
the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound field on
the receiver before outputting a test tone so that the
tone is output individually from the left and right rear
speakers.
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 speakers may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
Active woofer
* STR-DE535 only
* You can connect the active woofer to either of the two
jacks. The remaining jack can be used to connect a second
active woofer.
Note
Do not connect any other component.
If you have an additional front speaker system
Connect them to the SPEAKERS FRONT B terminals.
If your TV monitor uses separate speakers
You can connect one of them to the SPEAKERS
CENTER terminals for use with Dolby Pro Logic
Surround sound (see page 10).
Where do I go next?
To complete your system, go to “AC Hookups” on page 9.

your speaker is
Between 4 and 8 ohms
