Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
2/3 inch (15 mm). 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.
• The WIRELESS REAR SPEAKER jack is for use with
Sony wireless rear speaker systems only, do not connect
any other speaker systems or components to this jack.
* See “Speaker impedance” on the next page.
** You can connect an active woofer to either of the two jacks. The
remaining jack can be used to connect a second active woofer.
