3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home setup will vary.
Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers
(the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative (
+
/
–
) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use
speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16
Ω
(please see
Switching the speaker impedance
on page 80 if you
plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8
Ω
).
• If you only have one surround back speaker, hook it up to the surround back left (
Single
) terminal.
Caution
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal.
Use good quality speaker wire to connect the
speakers to the receiver.
