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.NOTE:NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.Doing so could result in electric shocks.Speaker Impedance• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected foruse as front and center speakers.• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use assurround speakers.• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time,since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω/ohms will lead todamage.• 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.Connection the speaker terminals1. Loosen by turningcounterclockwise2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turningclockwise. Connecting banana plugsbanana plugTurn clockwise to tighten, theninsert the banana plug.Connections• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.Connection jack for subwooferwith built-in amplifier (superwoofer), etc.FRONT SPEAKERSYSTEMS (A)CENTER SPEAKERSYSTEM• 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.SURROUND BACK/ZONE 2 SPEAKER SYSTEMSSURROUND SPEAKERSYSTEMSNOTES:• To use Surround back with one speaker, connectthe speaker to SURR.
