To connect the speaker cords
Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the
speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.
Note
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
Avoiding 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 terminal 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 72.
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 on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
Note
• 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.
