CAUTION
•
Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not
only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of
damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked
over or falling in the event of external shocks such as
earthquakes.
Connecting the speakers
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 for surround
sound.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R)
terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) 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 6Ω
and 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit
to the AC power source.
Bare wire connections
A-Speakers terminals:
1
Twist exposed wire strands together.
2

Tighten terminal.
B-Speakers terminals:
1

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. If any of the
bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the
power to cut off as a safety measure.
Switching the speaker terminal
If you selected Surr.Back in The Speaker System setting on
page 49, you can switch between speakers using the
SPEAKERS
button. If you selected Height, the button will
simply switch your main speaker terminal on or off. The
options below are for the Surr.Back setting only.
Use the
SPEAKERS
button on the front panel to select a
speaker terminal setting.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal option:
•
SPA – Sound is output from the speakers connected to
the A-speaker terminals (multichannel playback is
possible).
•
SPB – Sound is output from the two speakers connected
to the B-speaker terminals (only stereo playback is
possible).
•
SPAB – Sound is output from the A-speaker terminals,
the two speakers in the B-speaker terminals, and the
subwoofer. Multichannel sources are downmixed only
when the STEREO or STEREO ALC mode is selected for
stereo output from A- and B-speaker terminals.
•
SP – No sound is output from the speakers.
Note
•
The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in
Speaker Setting
on page 46. However, if SPB is selected
above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE
channel is not downmixed).
•
All speaker terminals are switched off (SP) when
headphones are connected. SPB can be selected even
when headphones are connected.
