• 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-DS898.
• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you
will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK
SPEAKERS/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (see page 21).
Connecting speakers
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16
Ω to
the TX-DS898. 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!

• When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to
monaural (mono) sound, a single speaker should never be

simultaneously.
