Speaker Connection; Connecting The Speaker Cables - Denon AVR-4520CI Owner's Manual

Speaker connection

Here, we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.
This section explains how to connect them using a typical example.
n Normal connection (vpage 94)
n Bi-amp connection (vpage 95)
n Multi-channel + 2-channel connection (vpage 96)
n 11.1-channel connection (vpage 97)
n External power amplifier connection (vpage 98)
NOTE
• Disconnect this unit's power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also,
turn off the subwoofer.
• Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The
protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides
touch each other (vpage 195 "Protection Circuit").
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result
in electric shock. When the "Setup Assistant" is running, follow the instructions in the "Setup
Assistant" screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while
the "Setup Assistant" is running.)
• Use speakers with the speaker impedances shown below.

• Use speakers where one speaker has an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω. When using a speaker with impedance
of 4 Ω or 6 Ω, make sure to set the "Impedance" in the menu (vpage 145) to "6 Ω/ohms" or "4 Ω/
ohms".
• On this unit, you can change how the power amplifiers within this unit are used according to your
environment. For details see "Relationship between the Amp Assign mode settings and audio output"
(vpage 177).

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being
connected to this unit, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the
speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate
it.
2
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
3
Insert the speaker cable's core wire to the hilt into the speaker
terminal.
4
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
