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.

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 ZONE2 SOURCE and STATUS at the same time for at least 3 seconds.

“V.Format:< NTSC>” appears on the display.

Press DIMMER on the main unit three times.

“Sp.Imp.:<8ohms>” appears on the display.

Press ZONE2 SOURCE or TUNER PRESET CH － 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 STATUS 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.
Connection-spCable1
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
Connection-spCable2
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.
Connection-spCable3
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
Connection-spCable4

Connecting the subwoofer

Use a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer. Two subwoofers can be connected to this unit.

The same signal is output from the respective subwoofer terminals.
