Connecting speakers
Note on the speaker impedance
The unit supports the following speaker impedance.
CH.2 A/B: 4 or more (8 or more when using CH.2 A and CH.2 B at the same time)
Other channels: 6 or more
Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the upper/lower position depending on the
speakers connected to the unit.
Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminal of the unit and
the speaker, and the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are colored to prevent
confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.
a Remove approximately 10 mm (0.40 in) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cable,
and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.
b Loosen the speaker terminal.
c Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper left or bottom right) of the
terminal.
d Tighten the terminal.
Using a banana plug
(U.S.A., Canada, China, Taiwan and Australia models only)
a Tighten the speaker terminal.
b Insert a banana plug into the end of the terminal.
Using a Y-shaped lug connector
a Loosen the speaker terminal.
b Insert the Y-shaped lug connector into the groove between the knob and base part of the
terminal.
c Tighten the terminal.
Upper position
Select this option when your speaker system meets one of the followings.
When connecting speakers with impedance of less than 8 (4 or more) to the
CH.2 A or CH.2 B terminal
When using two pairs of speakers connected to the CH.2 A/B terminals at the
same time (be sure to use 8-ohm speakers for both CH.2 A and CH.2 B)
When connecting speakers with impedance of less than 8 (6 or more) to
speaker terminals other than CH.2 A or CH.2 B
Lower position
(default)
Select this option when using speakers with impedance of 8
or more only.
