Speaker System Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect your speakers to

the receiver. Although front (left and right) speakers

are required, centre and rear speakers are optional.

Adding centre and rear speakers will enhance the

surround effects. Connecting an active woofer will

increase bass response. For specific locations of the

terminals, see the illustration below.

For optimum surround sound effect, place your

speakers as shown below.

What cords will I need?

Speaker cord (not supplied) (1 for each speaker)

Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 15 mm (2/3 inch).

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.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the

receiver. To prevent this, make sure to take the

following precautions when connecting the speakers.

Make sure the stripped ends 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

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, refer to ”Adjusting the speaker

volume”, on page 17.

If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press

the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound filed on

the receiver before outputting a test tone so that the

tone is output individually from the left and right rear

speakers.

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

receiver, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this

happens, check the speaker connection again.
