Speaker Connections - Yamaha HTR-5730 Owner's Manual

I Speaker connections
Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red) and "–" (black) properly. If the connections are
faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
CAUTION
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is off.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place
the speakers away from the monitor.
Connecting to the FRONT A SPEAKERS terminals
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped differently,
perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red) terminals on this unit
and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the "–" (black) terminals.
