Connecting Speaker Systems - Onkyo A-905TX Instruction Manual

Connecting speaker systems

Connecting left and right speakers
Before connecting
• The load impedance of each speaker must be at least 4 ohms.
• Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker cords. Otherwise, the DC resistance of the
speaker cords may become too high, lowering the damping factor and causing the sound quality to
deteriorate.
• Do not connect the speaker cord to the L and R connectors at the same time and do not connect two
or more speakers to the same speaker connectors.
