Connecting Speakers

Note

• Connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms.
• Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals.
• When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies. If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.
• If you have two subwoofers, you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.

How to connect speaker cables

Be sure to connect the speaker cables correctly to the terminals of the speaker and this receiver. Also, be sure to tightly twist the speaker wire strands and insert them securely into the speaker terminals.

①
