Connecting Speaker Systems - Onkyo R-801A 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 resis-
tance 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.
Preparing the speaker cords for connection
1 Strip 15 mm from
the end of each
cord.
