Speaker Connections
Follow these steps to connect the speakers.
%
1. S elect the location for each speaker. See
“Speaker Placement.’’ Then, cut the length of
speaker wire needed to connect each
speaker to the receiver.
2. P repare the ends of the speaker wire by
doing the following:
a. S eparate the two conductors for a length
of about 4 inches.
b. Using a wire stripper, remove about Va
inch of insulation from the end bf each
conductor.
c. Twist the ends of each conductor. Be sure
that the wire strands of one conductor do
not touch any other conductor’s wire
strands.
3. C onnect the correct speaker wire to the ter¬
minals on the back of each speaker. Connect
one conductor to each speaker terminal.
If your speakers
have spring-loaded
terminals, press the
terminal’s tab, insert
the conductor, and
release the tab.
If your speakers
have another type of
connector, see your
speakers’ owner’s
manual for instruc¬
tions for connecting
the speaker wire.
4. C onnect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS
terminals on the back of the receiver.
To connect a conductor to a terminal, press
the terminal’s tab, insert the conductor, and
release the tab.
If you are connecting two pairs of speakers,
connect one pair to the SPEAKERS A ter¬
minals and one pair to the SPEAKERS B ter¬
minals. If you are connecting only one pair of
speakers, you can use either set of terminals.
For each pair of speakers, connect the left
speaker to the L terminals and the right
speaker to the R terminals.
When connecting a speaker wire, Use the
wire’s color-coding or marking to help you
correctly connect the conductors. For ex¬
ample, be sure the conductor that is con¬
nected to the speaker’s negative terminal is
connected to the receiver’s negative (-) ter¬
minal. This greatly affects the bass.
Note: Some speakers are marked with plus
(+) and minus (-) signs. Others have a mark
or dot next to the positive terminal and no
mark for the negative terminal.
