Before connecting speakers

NOTE

Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.

Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (Protection circuitlink)

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 9 in the separate “Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.

When connecting speakers with different impedances, set the impedance based on the speaker with the lowest impedance.

NOTE

Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6 Ω/ohms.

Press and hold the main unit’s STATUS and ZONE3 SOURCE at the same time for at least 3 seconds.

Flower Mark 4K/8K Format <Enhanced>” appears on the display.

Press Cursor Down on the main unit twice.

Use Cursor Left or Cursor Right on the main unit to select the impedance.

8ohms
(Default):

Select when the impedance for all of the connected speakers is 8 Ω/ohms or over.

6ohms:

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 6 Ω/ohms.

4ohms:

Select when the impedance for any of the connected speakers is 4 Ω/ohms.

Press the main unit’s ENTER to complete the setting.

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

About the cable labels (supplied) for channel identification

The channel display section for speaker terminals on the rear panel is color-coded for each channel to be identifiable.

Attach the cable label corresponding to each speaker to each speaker cable. This makes it easy to connect the correct cable to the speaker terminals on the rear panel.
