14ENGLISH(7) Speaker system connections• Use speaker cords with twisted wire cores and a diameter of 0.6 to 1.5 mm.Never use cords thicker than 1.5 mm or single-wire cords, as they maydamage the speaker terminals.• Be sure to interconnect the polarities of the terminals on the speakers andmain unit (≈ to ≈, √ to √).• When making connections, be careful that none of the core wires of thespeaker cords stick out and touch neighboring terminals, other speaker cordsor the rear panel.• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use ascenter and surround speakers.Connection the speaker terminals1. Push the lever. 2. Insert the cord. 3. Return the lever.Connections• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.NOTE:NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.Doing so could result in electric shocks.• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods oftime at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than thespecified impedance are connected.• Precautions whenconnecting speakersIf a speaker is placed near aTV or video monitor, thecolors on the screen maybe disturbed by thespeaker’s magnetism. Ifthis should happen, movethe speaker away to aposition where it does nothave this effect.VIDEOMON.OUTS VIDEOIN IN ININ OUTTV/DBS V.AUX VCRRLAUDIOIN OUT IN IN ININ OUTV.AUXTV/DBS VCRCDR/TAPEPRE OUTSUB WOOFERIN IN OUTV.AUXTV/DBS(OPTICAL)DIGITALSPEAKER SYSTEMS6 16 R LR L IMPEDANCECENTER SURROUNDFRONTMON.OUTY CB CRAMFM COAX. 75LOOPANT.COMPONENT VIDEO OUT(L) (R)(L) (R)FRONT SPEAKERSYSTEMSCENTER SPEAKERSYSTEMSURROUNDSPEAKER SYSTEMSSUB WOOFERConnector jack for subwooferwith bilt-in amplifier (superwoofer), etc.
