Onkyo HTP-240 - Manual (Page 8)

Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your amp before making any connections.
• The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8
Ω
. Use
only an amp that supports this impedance.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,
and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-
nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound
will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative wires. Doing so
may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables
1 Use the cables to connect each speaker’s
input terminals to the corresponding
speaker output terminals on your amp.
To make a connection, while
pressing the terminal lever,
insert the wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are
gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.
