Notes

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components.

• After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.

3: Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).

Tips

• Since the sub woofer doe s not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

• (Except for the front speaker of HTP-2000) For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional W S-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand (available only in certain countries).

Attaching foot pads

(Except for the front speaker of HTP-2000) To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the illustration below.

Note

Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.

To change the speaker cord

If you want to change the speaker cord, you can detach the supplied speaker cord from the connector.

1 Press the connector onto a flat surface.

Make sure that the catcher is facing the flat surface.

2 Pull the speaker cord from the

connector.

3 Twist the stripped ends of the speaker

cord you want about 10 mm and insert the speaker cord into the connector.

Make sure that the speaker cord is inserted according to its polarity : + to + and – to –. Otherwise the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

4 Remove the connector from the flat

surface.

Note

To avoid the speaker cord from coming off the speaker connector

– do not use a smaller-size speaker cord. We

recommend that you use the AWG#18 to AWG#24 speaker cords.

– use the same speaker cord size for all the speaker

connectors.

– twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords.

– insert the speaker cord completely into the speaker

connector.
