Connecting speakers

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

Before connecting speakers

NOTE

0Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.

0Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 191))

0Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 8 in the separate “Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

0Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.

NOTE

0Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6 Ω/ohms.

1.Press and hold the main unit’s ZONE2 SOURCE and STATUS at the same time for at least 3 seconds.

“V.Format:< PAL>” appears on the display.

2.Press SPEAKERS on the main unit three times. “Sp.Imp.:<8ohms>” appears on the display.

3.Press TUNER PRESET CH + or TUNER PRESET CH - on the main unit to select the impedance.

	8ohms	Select when the impedance for all of the
	(Default):	connected speakers is 8	Ω/ohms or over.
	6ohms:	Select when the impedance for any of the
		connected speakers is 6	Ω/ohms.
	4ohms:	Select when the impedance for any of the
		connected speakers is 4	Ω/ohms.

4. Press the main unit’s STATUS to complete the setting.
