Getting Started
This section explains how to connect speakers, recording 
equipment, antennas and network. 
For other connections, see the sections below.
NOTE
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been 
completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the owner’s manual of the 
other components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, 
right with right).
• Do not bundle power supply cords together with connection cables.
Doing so can result in humming or noise.

  Connecting the speaker cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – 
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the unit, and be 
sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing 
from the tip of the speaker cable, then 
either twist the core wire tightly or 
apply solder to it.
2
Turn the speaker terminal 
counterclockwise to loosen it.
3
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to 
all the way into the speaker terminal.
4
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise 
to tighten it.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω. The protection circuit 
may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than specifi ed 
are used.
• Connect the speaker cables so they do not stick out of the speaker 
terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the wires 
touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other 
(vpage6 “Protection circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is 
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
• When you connect optional speakers (SC-N7) to this unit, you can 
perform the fi lter setting for optimal sound quality output (vpage33 
“Using an optimizing fi lter”).
