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:

REAR

–

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, refer to “Adjusting the speaker

volume” on page 10.

If you have connected rear speakers, be sure to press

the 5.1 CH/DVD button and turn off sound field 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 speakers may be short-circuited. If this

happens, check the speaker connection again.
