To Avoid Short-Circuiting The Speakers - Sony DAV-LF10 Operating Instructions Manual

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch
another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 93.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker
other than the one currently displayed in the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If
this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Notes
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords
are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
• If you connect the speaker cord incorrectly or turn up the volume in a state of a short circuit, the standby indicator
flashes and the system enters standby mode. In this case, disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead) from the wall outlet (mains), and then turn the system on.
• If you connect the speaker cord to the surround amplifier incorrectly, or turn up the volume in a state of a short
circuit, the POWER/ON LINE indicator turns off. In this case, disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the
surround amplifier from the wall outlet (mains), reconnect, and then turn the surround amplifier on.
