CONNECTIONS

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.

• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 34).
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this

unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the

monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

• If you are to use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set “SPEAKER IMP.” to “6

MIN” before using this unit

(see page 33). 4 ohm speakers can be also used as the front speakers (see page 126).

• A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a

stripe, groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the
plain cable to the “–” (black) terminals.

• The low-frequency signals of other speakers set to “Small” or to “None” in “Speaker Set” (see pages 96 and 97) are directed to the

speakers selected in “Bass Out” (see page 98).

• You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, however they do not output sound simultaneously. You can set

to prioritize either set of speakers using the “PR/SB Priority” parameter in “Speaker Set” (see page 98).

• You can use the PRESENCE terminals to connect the Zone 2 or Zone 3 speakers as well as the presence speakers (see page 121).
