Denon AVR-5700 Operating Instructions Manual page 12

Speaker system connections
• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like
polarities are matched ( < with < , > with > ). Mismatching of polarities
will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various
instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.
• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors
of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other
speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
Connections
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

Speaker Impedance
• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for
use as front and center speakers.
• Be careful when using two pairs of surround speakers (A + B) at the same
time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms will lead
to damage.
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use
as surround speakers.
• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of
time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the
specified impedance are connected.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.

connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near
a TV or video monitor, the
colors on the screen may
be disturbed by the
speaker's magnetism. If
this should happen, move
the speaker away to a
position where it does not
have this effect.
