Positioning and connecting the
speakers
For the speaker layout, refer to
Selecting the speaker
layout/usage pattern on page 9. We recommend
positioning the speakers before connecting them. Use
one of the five connection examples below according to
the speaker layout/usage pattern selected.
1
Use
commercially available speaker cords to make the
connections.
Bare wire connections
Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is
properly prepared with about 10 mm of insulator stripped
from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted
together (
fig. A).
To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns
until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire
(
fig. B). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal
until the wire is firmly clamped (
fig. C).
Important
• Before connecting the equipment, make sure that
the power is turned off and the power cords are
unplugged from the power outlets.

Note
1 • You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6
Ω and 16 Ω (or between 4 Ω and 16 Ω for the R1/L1 terminals).
• Each speaker connection on the amplifier comprises a positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to match these up with the terminals on the
speakers themselves.
• 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.
