Installing Your Speakers--Continued
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet,
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity, in other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative ( ) terminals only to negative (½
terminals, If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound odd,
• Only use speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16
ohms. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than
6 ohms may damage your TX-SR501/TX-SR501 E,
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect
the sound quality and should be avoided,
• Be careful not to short the positive and
negative connections. Doing so may
damage your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E,
• Don't connect more than one cable to
each speaker terminal. Doing so may
damage your TX-SR501/TX-SR501E,
• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair of
speakers, don't connect it to both the left and right speaker
terminals,
