■ Di-pole speaker layout
Either di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used
for THX surround. If you choose di-pole speakers, please
place the surround and surround back speakers according
to the speaker layout below.
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R),
“+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound can be heard from the speakers, and if the
polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
• If you intend to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set this
unit’s speaker impedance setting to 6 ohms before
using (see page 28).
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this
unit’s power is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or
any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit
and/or the speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of
speaker still creates interference with the monitor,
place the speakers away from the monitor.
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red)
terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
1
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of
insulation from each of the speaker cables.
2
Twist the exposed wires of the cable together
to prevent short circuits.
3
Unscrew the knob.
y
The supplied speaker terminal wrench is useful for screwing
or unscrewing knobs.
4
Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side
of each terminal.
5
Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
Banana plug connections
(With the exception of U.K. and Europe models)
First, tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug
connector into the end of the corresponding terminal.
