Connecting speakers
Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit.
Caution
• Remove the unit's power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the
speakers.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the
unit's metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit,
"Check SP Wires" will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
