13ENGLISHSpeaker system connections• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that likepolarities are matched (< with <, > with >). Mismatching of polarities willresult in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments,and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductorsof the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with otherspeaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.Speaker Impedance• When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with animpedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as front speakers.• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time,since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for useas center and surround speakers.• 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.NOTE:• NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing socould result in electric shocks.• Do not use soeaker cords with a diameter of over 1.5 mm. Doing somay damage the speaker terminals.
