Connections

Connections for all compatible audio signal format is described in
this operating instructions. Please select the types of connections
suited for the equipment you are connecting.
NOTE
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been
completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions
of the other components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left,
right with right).
• Do not bundle power cords together with connection cables. Doing
so can result in humming or noise.
• Do not turn up the volume when no turntable is connected to the
PHONO input terminals. Doing so will cause humming or noise.

Connecting the Audio Equipment

Cautions on playing SA sources:
When regular speakers not compatible with SA sources (DVD Audio discs, Super Audio CDs and other sources including treble components
above the audible range), set the properties of the player (DVD Audio player, Super Audio CD player, etc.) for use with regular speakers (or
amplifiers).
The speakers may be damaged if the volume is set too high when playing SA sources. For instructions on setting the player, refer to the
operating instructions included with the player.

Connecting the Speakers

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the PMA-710AE,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from
the tip of the speaker cable, then either
twist the core wire tightly or terminate
it.
2
Turn the
counterclockwise to loosen it.

3
R
Insert the speaker cable's core wire to
the hilt into the speaker terminal.
4
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to
tighten it.
NOTE
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out
of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if
the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each
other (v "Protection circuit").
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.

Protection circuit
The protection circuit will be activated in the following cases:
• When the speaker cable's core wires are touching the rear
panel or screws or when the speaker cable's + and – sides are
touching
• When the surrounding temperature is extremely high
• When the internal temperature rises due to extended use with
a high output
If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections
of the speaker cables and input cables. If the set's temperature
is extremely high, wait for it to cool off and improve surrounding
ventilation. After doing this, plug the power cord back in.
If the protection circuit is activated though there are no problems
in ventilation around the set or in connections, the set could be
damaged. Turn off the power, then contact a DENON servicing and
inquiry outlet.
