Connecting the A-9355/A-9155
Speaker Connection Precautions
You can connect one or two sets of speakers (A/B) to
the A-9355/A-9155, and select which set outputs sound,
or use both sets at the same time.
For both speakers A and B, make sure to connect them
with Left and Right in pairs.
If you connect both speaker sets to terminal A and B
respectively to deliver sound at the same time, only
connect speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or
more but less than 16 ohms. If you use speakers with
a lower impedance, and use the A-9355/A-9155 at
high volume levels for a long period of time, the
built-in protection circuit may be activated.
If you use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8
ohms, connect them to either terminal A or B, or oth-
erwise do not use both speaker sets simultaneously to
deliver sound.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet
before making any connections.
Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Make sure also the wires do
not touch the rear panel.
Doing so may damage the
A-9355/A-9155.
Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage
the A-9355/A-9155.
Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of
speaker terminals.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
The following illustration shows which speaker should
be connected to each pair of terminals.
Connecting Your Speakers
1
Strip about 15 mm (5/8
inch) of insulation from
the ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare
wires tightly, as shown.
2
Unscrew the terminal.
3
