Caution:

• Remove the power cable of this unit from the power outlet before

connecting the speakers.

• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated

cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line
running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different
colored (or lined) cable into the “+” (positive, red) terminal
on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the “-”
(minus, black) terminal.

• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch

anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit.
This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables
short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear on the front panel
display when this unit is switched on.

• This unit is con gured for 8 Ω speakers at the factory setting.

When connecting 6 Ω speakers, con gure the speaker
impedance setting of this unit to 6 Ω. When this unit is
con gured for 6 Ω speakers, 4 Ω speakers can also be used as
the front speakers. For more information on setting the speaker
impedance, refer to “Changing speaker impedance” in the
Owner’s Manual.

• When connecting the presence speakers, refer to “Presence speaker

connection” in the Owner’s Manual.

• This unit can connect speakers that support Bi-amp connection for front

speakers. Refer to “Bi-amp connection” in the Owner’s Manual.
