Before Installation

Checking the Supplied Accessories

This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the amplifier, and how to connect the power supply.

General

• Be sure your hands are dry.

• Turn the power off to all components.

• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.

Locations

• Install the amplifier in a location that is level and protected from moisture.

• The temperature around the amplifier must be between –5˚ and 35˚ C (23˚ and 95˚ F).

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the amplifier. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the amplifier.

Handling the amplifier

• Do not insert any metal object into the amplifier.

• Do not disassemble the amplifier or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

• Do not expose the amplifier to rain or moisture.

Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the amplifier. The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces supplied.

• Remote Control (1)

• Batteries (2)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Connecting the Speakers

FRONT SPEAKERS

RIGHT LEFT

Connecting the front speakers

You can connect the following speakers:

• Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound

• One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect

• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human voices outstanding)

• One subwoofer to enhance the bass

For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect one end of the speaker signal cable (not supplied) to the speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to the speaker. (For connecting a subwoofer, see page 6).

1. Open each terminal.

2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be sure to remove the insulation at the end of each wire first).

3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables firmly in place.

4. Connect the black (–) and red (+) terminals on the rear panel to the black (–) and red (+) terminals marked on the speakers.

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the same SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.
