• This unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers at the factory. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the speaker impedance of this unit to “6 Ω MIN”. For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.16) in “Owner’s Manual”.

• Use a subwoofer equipped with built-in amplifier.

• Remove the power cable of this unit from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer 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 this unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES” will appear on the front display when this unit is turned 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 colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive.

Remove approximately 10 mm of insulation from the ends of the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable together firmly.

2 Loosen the speaker

terminal.

3 Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the

side (upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.

4 Tighten the terminal.
