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 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.)

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.

To use two subwoofers, set “Subwoofer” to “2 spkrs” in the “Speaker Config.” setting. link
The level and distance can be set separately for Subwoofer 1 and Subwoofer 2.
