Connecting speakers
Connecting the speaker
You can connect two separate pairs of speaker systems.
Please connect each speaker according to the illustration, observing
the correct connections for R, L, + and –.
Check the speaker impedance, then set the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR switch accordingly. Refer to pages 8 and 9 for details.
Notes:
• Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker leads.
If the DC resistance of the speaker leads is too high, the damp-
ing factor will decrease, adversely affecting the sound quality.
• When you are using only one speaker or when you wish to lis-
ten to monaural (mono) sound, a single speaker should never be
connected in parallel to both the right and left-channel terminals
simultaneously.
• To prevent damage to circuitry, never
short-circuit the positive (+) and nega-
tive (–) speaker wire.
• Be sure to connect the positive and nega-
tive cables for the speakers properly. If
they are connected to the wrong terminal,
the left and right signals will be reversed
and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Do not connect more than one speaker
cable to one speaker terminal. Doing so
may damage the DTM-5.3.
Connecting the speaker cable
1. Strip away 5/8 inch (15 mm) of wire insulation.
2. Twist wire ends very tight.
3. Unscrew.
4. Insert wire.
5. Screw.
Connecting a subwoofer
Use the SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jack to connect a subwoofer
with a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a
built-in amplifier, connect an amplifier to the PRE OUT SUB-
WOOFER jack and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
Note:
The SUBWOOFER PRE OUT can only operate when speaker sys-
tem A is turned on.
