CONNECTING SPEAKERS

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Follow the procedure below to connect speakers to the DVD receiver. Here, the connection example uses the YAMAHA
NX-E700 (consisting of two speakers) and its supplied cables. For information on your speakers, refer to the owner’s
manual for the speakers.

y

You can also use commercially available speakers (see page 8).

Notes

• Do not connect the power cable of the DVD receiver until all cable connections are completed.

• Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no sound
will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage the DVD
receiver and/or the speakers.

• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.

• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the speakers away
from the monitor.
