Connecting Speaker Cables - Yamaha RX-A2020 Easy Setup Manual

3 Connecting speakers/subwoofer
• Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm
speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit's
speaker impedance to "6 Ω MIN". For details, see "Setting the
speaker impedance" in "Owner's Manual".
• Use a subwoofer equipped with built-in amplifier.
• Before connecting the speakers, remove the unit's power cable
from the AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch
each other or come into contact with the unit's metal areas. This
may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables
short circuit, "Check SP Wires" will appear on the front display
when the unit is turned on.

Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the
negative (–) terminals of the unit and the speaker, and the
other is for the positive (+) terminals. If the wires are
colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to
the negative and the other wire to the positive terminals.
