Speaker connection
Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.
This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.
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 8 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:< PAL>” appears on the display.
Press DIMMER on the main unit twice.
“Sp.Imp.:<8ohms>” appears on the display.
Press ZONE2 SOURCE or INTERNET RADIO on the main unit to select the impedance.
|
6ohms: |
6 Ω/ohms to 8 Ω/ohms is selected even if it is for one speaker with a connected impedance. |
|
4ohms: |
4 Ω/ohms to 8 Ω/ohms is selected even if it is for one speaker with a connected impedance. |
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 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
Connecting the subwoofer
Use a subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer.

Attach the speaker cable label for each channel to its speaker cable as shown in the diagram.
Refer to the table above and attach the label to each speaker cable.
Then, make connection so that the color of the speaker terminal matches that of the speaker cable label.
