Connecting Your Speakers—Continued Speaker Connection Precautions Read the following before connecting your speakers: • You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 ohms (see page 46).
Connecting Antenna This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.
Connecting Antenna—Continued Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out- door FM antenna instead. Notes: • Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
Connecting Your Components About AV Connections • Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components. • Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections. Optical Digital Jacks The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed.
