Connecting Speakers - Yamaha RX-V1070 Owner's Manual

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut to be as short as possible. If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
How to Connect:
Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)

(1/4") insulation from
