2: Setting/Connecting Speakers
Set up the speakers and subwoofers in a room using the layout you prefer for your speaker
system and connect them to the receiver. The speaker layout drawings on page 17 and
subsequent pages provide the ideal layout examples. You do not have to set up the
speakers and subwoofers in exactly the same way as the layout examples. Adjust the
speaker layout to optimally suit your room environment.
• Connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 ohms to 16 ohms.
• Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead).
• Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables
are not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals or on the receiver rear panel. If the wires
are touching, it may result in damage to the amplifier circuit.
• When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching
movies. If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the
level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.
If you have one subwoofer, connect it to either of the SUBWOOFER OUT jacks. If you have two subwoofers,
you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.
Connect speaker cables with the polarities + (red)/– (black) matched between the receiver
and the speakers as illustrated below. Strip the jacket to 10 mm (13/32 in) at each end of the
speaker cables, and then tightly twist the speaker wire strands. Insert the stripped ends of
the cables into the terminals.
• Be sure not remove too much of the speaker cable sleeves, so as to prevent the wires of the speaker
cables from touching each other.
• Improper connection may result in fatal damage to the receiver.
