15Speaker system connections• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure thatlike polarities are matched (< with <, > with >). Mismatching ofpolarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation ofthe various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereobeing impaired.• When making connections, take care that none of the individualconductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacentterminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rearpanel.Speaker Impedance• When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers withan impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as frontspeakers.• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at thesame time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16Ω/ohms.• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connectedfor use as center and surround and surround back speakers.• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for longperiods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedancelower than the specified impedance are connected.NOTE:NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.Doing so could result in electric shocks.Connecting the speaker cords1. Loosen by turningcounterclockwise.2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turningclockwise.Connecting banana plugsTurn clockwise to tighten, then insert thebanana plug.Banana plug(L) (R)(L) (R)(L) (R)Connection jack for subwoofer with built-in amplifier(super woofer), etc.To achieve Dolby Digital playback effect, use a unitthat can sufficiently reproduce frequencies ofunder 80 Hz.SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEMSCENTER SPEAKER SYSTEM FRONT SPEAKER SYSTEMS• Precautions when connecting speakersIf a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed bythe speaker’s magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position whereit does not have this effect.System BFRONT SPEAKER SYSTEMSSystem ASURROUND BACK SPEAKER SYSTEMENGLISH
