Speaker system connections
• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like
polarities are matched ( ≈ with ≈ , √ with √ ). Mismatching of polarities will
result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments,
and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.
• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors
of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other
speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
Speaker Impedance
• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16
Ω /ohms can be connected for
use as front and center speakers.
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as
surround speakers.
• Be careful when using two pairs of surround speakers (A + B) at the same
time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω /ohms will
lead to damage.
• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of
time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the
specified impedance are connected.
Connection the speaker terminals
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise
2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
Connecting banana plugs

Turn clockwise to tighten, then
insert the banana plug.
Connections
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

CENTER SPEAKER SYSTEM SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEMS (A)
• Precautions when
connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near a
TV or video monitor, the
colors on the screen may
be disturbed by the
speaker’s magnetism. If
this should happen, move
the speaker away to a
position where it does not
have this effect.
SURROUND BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER SYSTEMS SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEMS (B)
NOTES:
• To use Surround back with one
speaker, connect the speaker to
SURR. BACK L CH.
• The settings must be changed to use
this speaker for ZONE 2.
See page 27.
Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.
