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 normal impedance between 6 Ω
and 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit
to the AC power source.
Bare wire connections
A-Speaker terminals:
1
Twist exposed wire strands together.
2
Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.
3
Tighten terminal.
B-Speaker terminals:
1
Twist exposed wire strands together.
2
Push open the tabs and insert exposed wire.
3
Release the tabs.
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 40, 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 37. However, if SPB is
selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer
(the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• All speaker terminals (except Speaker B connections) are
switched off when headphones are connected.
