Connecting the Speakers—Continued
Read the following before connecting your
speakers:
Disconnect the power cord from the wall
outlet before making any connections.
Connect only speakers with an impedance
of 6 ohms or higher.
Read the instructions supplied with your
speakers.
Pay close attention to speaker wiring polar-
ity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) ter-
minals to only negative (–) 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 nega-
tive wires. Doing so
may damage the
HTX-22HDX.
Don’t connect more than one cable to each
speaker terminal. Doing so may damage
the HTX-22HDX.
Don’t connect a speaker to several termi-
nals.
1
Remove the pre-
cut insulation from
the ends of the
speaker cables,
and twist the bare
wires tightly.
2
Push the lever to open
the hole, insert the
bare wire into the hole,
and then release the
lever.
Make sure that the speaker terminals are grip-
ping the bare wires, not the insulation.
