To avoid short-circuiting the
speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage
the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take
the following precautions when connecting the
speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each
speaker cord does not touch another
speaker terminal or the stripped end of
another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the
speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another
speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other
due to excessive removal of insulation.
Speaker system hookups (continued) After connecting all the components,
speakers, and AC power cord, output
a test tone to check that all the
speakers are connected correctly.
For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 17.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while
outputting a test tone or a test tone is output
from a speaker other than the one whose name
is currently displayed on the receiver, the
speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens,
check the speaker connection again.
To avoid damaging your
speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume
before you turn off the receiver. When you turn
on the receiver, the volume remains at the level
you turn off the receiver.
