Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front
speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is
recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround
sound.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R)
terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on
the receiver match those on the speakers.
You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 
and 16 .
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit
to the AC power source.
Bare wire connections
1 Twist exposed wire strands together.
2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.
3 Tighten terminal.
CAUTION
• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage.
To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or
disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power
cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together
and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the
bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the
power to cut off as a safety measure.
