Connecting the speakers/subwoofer

• This unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers at the factory. When
connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the speaker impedance of this
unit to "6 Ω MIN". For details, see "Setting the speaker
impedance" (p.18) in "Owner's Manual".
• Use a subwoofer equipped with built-in amplifier.
• Remove the power cable of this unit from an AC wall outlet and
turn off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit.
This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker
cables short circuit, "CHECK SP WIRES" will appear on the
front display when this unit is turned on.

Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting
the negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and
the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to
the negative and the other wire to the positive.
