Getting Started
Notes on speaker system hookup
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate
terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will
lack bass.
• If you use front speakers with low maximum input
rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
If you feel lack of bass frequency
Connect an active subwoofer (not supplied) to the
WOOFER OUT jack using a monaural audio cord (not
supplied).
When you connect an active subwoofer, disconnect the
supplied woofer from the SPEAKER WOOFER terminal.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system.
To prevent this, make sure to take the following
precautions when connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped end of each speaker cord
does not touch another speaker terminal or the
stripped end of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive
removal of insulation.
After connecting all the components, speakers,
and AC power cord, output a test tone to check
that all the speakers are connected correctly. For
details on outputting a test tone, see page 14.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a
test tone or a test tone is output from a speaker other than
the one whose name is currently displayed on the front
panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
