Onkyo HT-R410 Instruction Manual page 13

Positioning speakers/Connecting speakers
Before connecting
• Refer also to the instruction manuals of the speakers.
• 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.
• Connect speakers with an impedance between 8 Ω and 16 Ω
Connecting speakers with an impedance less than 8 Ω may
damage the HT-R410.
• To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the positive
(+) and negative (–) speaker wires.
• Do not connect more than one speaker cable to one speaker
terminal. Doing so may damage the HT-R410.
• 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.
