Connecting speakers
Connecting speakers
1. Check the impedance of the speakers you are
connecting.
The TX-DS595 requires speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω or
greater. Connecting speakers with an impedance of less than 4 Ω
may damage the TX-DS595.
2. Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch according to
the impedance of the speakers being connected.
If all speakers have an impedance of 6 Ω or greater, slide the
IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch to the left (6 OHMS MIN./
SPEAKER). If one or more speakers have an impedance of less
than 6 Ω, slide the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch to the
right (4 OHMS MIN./SPEAKER).

Notes:
• The power to the TX-DS595 must not be turned on when
changing the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR setting.
• When you are using only one
speaker or when you wish to
listen to monaural (mono)
sound, a single speaker should
never be connected in parallel to
both the right and left-channel
terminals simultaneously.
• To prevent damage to circuitry,
never short-circuit the positive
(+) and negative (–) speaker
wire.

• Be sure to connect the positive and negative cables for the
speakers properly. If they are mixed up, the left and right signals
will be reversed and the audio will sound unnatural.
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the TX-DS595.
• Use FRONT SPEAKERS B terminals to connect a second pair
of front speakers.
• When you listen to surround audio or select Multichannel, be
sure to turn on SPEAKERS A.
Connecting the speaker cable
1. Strip away 5/8 inch (15 mm) of wire insulation.
2. Twist wire ends very tight.

Connecting a subwoofer
Use the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack to connect a subwoofer with
a built-in power amplifier. If your subwoofer does not have a built-in
amplifier, connect an amplifier to the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER jack
and the subwoofer to the amplifier.
