Connecting speakers
• 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.
• Connect the speaker cables with care to avoid creating a short
circuit. If you turn on the power and there is a short circuit, this
unit may be damaged even though the protection circuit automati-
cally shuts off the power.
After you finish connecting your speakers, use the SET MENU to
change the signal output settings according to the number and size
of the speakers in your configuration.

■ Connecting the SPEAKERS terminals
A speaker cable is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by
side. One of the cables is colored or shaped differently, perhaps with
a stripe, groove or ridge.
1 1 Strip off 10 mm (3/8˝ ) of insulation from the ends of
the cables.
2 2 Twist the exposed wires of the cable together to
prevent short circuits.
3 3 Loosen the terminal knob by turning it counterclock-
wise.
4 4 Insert only the exposed portion of the cable into the
slot in the side of the terminal, and tighten the
terminal knob.
Note
• If your speaker cables have banana plugs, tighten the terminal
knob and insert the plug into the end of the terminal. (Except for
Europe and U.K. models)
