Using the speaker labels
The positive speaker terminals on the DTR-7.3 are color coded for
easy identification. Attach the supplied speaker labels to the speaker
cables, and then match the colors on the speaker cables to the
corresponding terminals.
The speaker channels are colored as follows:
Front left speaker (+): White
Front right speaker (+): Red
Center speaker (+): Green
Surround left speaker (+): Blue
Surround right speaker (+): Grey
Surround back/Zone 2 left speaker (+): Brown
Surround back/Zone 2 right speaker (+): Tan

Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER
jack to connect a subwoofer with a
built-in power amplifier. If your
subwoofer does not have a built-in
amplifier, connect an amplifier to
the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack
and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
Connecting speakers
After determining the layout of your speaker system, it is now
necessary to connect the speakers correctly to your DTR-7.3.
Caution:
Connect only speakers with an impedance between 4 and 16
Ω to
the DTR-7.3. If the impedance of even one speaker is between 4
and 6
Ω, be sure to set the speaker impedance setting
accordingly (see page 41).
Notes:
• Even if you are using only one speaker or listening to monaural
(mono) sound, never connect a single speaker in parallel to both
the right and left-channel terminals.
• To prevent damage to circuitry,
never short-circuit the positive (+)
and negative (–) speaker wire.
• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the
speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals
will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the DTR-7.3.
• Connect either your surround back speakers or the speakers you
will be using in the remote zone (Zone 2) to the SURR BACK
SPEAKERS/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals (see page 24).

4. Insert the exposed wire end.
5. Screw down the speaker terminal cap.
