3 Connecting speakers
• (U.S.A. and Canada models only) The unit is configured to
8Ω speakers as the factory setting. 6Ω speakers can be also
connected.
• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models) Use the speakers
with an impedance of at least 6Ω.
• Use a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier.
• Disconnect the power plug before connecting the speakers.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of the unit.
If this happens, it may damage the unit or the speakers. If the
speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear
on the front panel display when the unit is switched on.
Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the
negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the
other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are colorcoded to prevent confusion, you should connect the black
side to the negative terminal and the other wire to the
positive terminal.
1 Remove approximately
10 mm (0.4 in.) of insulation
from the end of the speaker
cable and twist the bare wire
firmly.
2 Loosen the speaker terminal.
3 Insert the bare wire into the
gap on the side of the terminal.
When it is difficult to insert the wire into the gap on the
side, insert it into the gap downside of terminal.
4 Tighten the terminal.
Connecting banana plugs
(Except U.K. and Europe models)
Tighten the knob, and then
insert the banana plug into the
end of the terminal.
