Connecting the Receiver
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before making any connections.
Speaker Connection Precautions Connecting the Speaker Cables
The receiver allows you to connect two sets of speakers.
When two sets of speakers are connected, you can select
which speaker set outputs sound or use both sets to
output sound simultaneously. ( page 18 about
“Speakers A” and “Speakers B”)
• When you connect one set of speakers to either
SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminal posts, or
when you connect two sets of speakers to both speaker
terminal posts and output sound only from either
speaker set, use speakers whose impedance is 4 to 16
Ω, and set the speaker impedance setting on the
receiver to 4 or 6 Ω ( page 11). When the impedance
of the speaker to be used is less than 6 Ω, set the
speaker impedance to 4 Ω.
• When you connect speakers to both SPEAKERS A
and SPEAKERS B terminal posts and output sound
from both speaker sets simultaneously, use speakers
whose impedance is 8 to 16 Ω. Set the speaker
impedance setting on the receiver to 4 Ω.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the
receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker
terminal. Doing so may
damage the receiver.
• Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of
speaker terminals.
Strip about 5/8" (15 mm)
1
of insulation from the
ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the
bare wires tightly, as
shown.
Unscrew the terminal.
2
Fully insert the bare wire.
3
Screw the terminal tight.

The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.

Note:
If you make an incorrect setting for the speakers or the
impedance values, the built-in protection circuit may be
activated resulting in no sound output from speakers.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer
Using a suitable cable, connect the receiver’s PRE OUT:
SUBWOOFER to the input on your powered subwoofer.
If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an
external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT:
SUBWOOFER to the amp’s input.
Connecting a Power Amplifier
If you want to use a more powerful power amplifier and
use the receiver as a preamp, connect the receiver’s PRE
OUT: L, R to the amp’s input, and connect all speakers
to the power amplifier.

SETUP
Configuring the Speaker Impedance
On the receiver, the factory default for speaker impedance is “6 Ω”. If you need to change the speaker impedance setting,
read “Speaker Connection Precautions” on page 9 carefully before performing the procedure below.
Note:
Be sure to minimize the volume level on the receiver
before configuring the speaker impedance.
Press the [] button to turn on the power.
1
Press the [SETUP] button on the remote
2
controller.
Use the arrow []/[] buttons to select
3
“2. Hardware Setup,” and then press
[ENTER].
Change the impedance value to “4 Ω” using
4
the arrow []/[] buttons.
Press the [SETUP] button on the remote
5
controller to complete the setting.
If you want to change the impedance setting back
to the factory default setting of 6 Ω, follow the
same procedure described above.
Notes:
• This procedure can also be performed on the receiver
by using [SETUP,] TUNING []/[], PRESET
[]/[], and [ENTER].
• Press [RETURN] button to return to the previous
menu.
Setting example :
If you’re using only one of the speaker sets connected to
SPEAKERS A or B, choose the 4 Ω setting if each
speaker’s impedance is 4 Ω to less than 6 Ω, or choose
the 6 Ω setting if each speaker’s impedance is 6 Ω or
more.
If you’re using both of the speaker sets connected to
SPEAKERS A and B, choose the 4 Ω setting if each
speaker’s impedance is 8 to 16 Ω.

Connecting Antennas
AM loop antenna (supplied)
Assembling the AM loop antenna
Push Insert wire Release
Thumbtacks, etc.
Insert the plug fully
into the jack.
Indoor FM antenna (supplied)
Caution:
Be careful that you don’t injure yourself
when using thumbtacks.
This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna.
The receiver won’t pick up any radio signals if no antenna is connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Notes:
• Once your receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the
best possible reception.
• Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.
• Refer to “Hardware Setup” on page 28 for more information on switching the frequency setup.
Tips:
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM
antenna instead.
• If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially
available outdoor AM antenna.
