Notes on speaker system hookup

•Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 2/3 inch (10 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and - to If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

•If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

16

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the following precautioits when cormecting the speakers.

Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord, output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 22.

If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one whose name is currently displayed on the receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Speaker impedance

- ' .o. -i

To enjoy multi channel surround, connect front, center, and rear speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher, and set the speaker IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to "8Q." Check the instruction manual supplied with your speakers if you're not sure of their impedance. (This information is usually printed on a label on the back of the speaker.)

You may connect a pair of speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals, if you set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to “4D." Speakers connected to the REAR and CENTER SPEAKERS terminals must have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher (regardless of the setting

of the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR).

Note

Be sure to connect front speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher if you want to select both sets (A+B) of front speakers (see page 27).
