Connecting 2 Speaker Systems - Pioneer A-40AE Instruction Manual

Connecting 2 speaker systems

a Speaker Cable
3/8"
(10 mm)
You can connect another speaker system set to the
SPEAKERS B jacks.
0 You can output the same audio as Speaker A System by
switching with A/B/A+B. Press SPEAKERS on the main
unit to switch. The selection changes in the order
SPEAKERS A, SPEAKERS B, SPEAKERS A+B with
each press. Refer to "Switching speaker output" (p17)
for details.
(Note) Speaker Impedance
∫ When outputting audio simultaneously from 2
speaker systems
Connect speakers with an impedance of 8 ≠ to 32 ≠.
0 Setup: You have to change the setting on this unit if any
of the connected speakers have 8 ≠ or more to less than
16 ≠ impedance. Change the speaker impedance setting
to 4 ≠. (p15)
∫ When switching to either A or B for audio
output
Connect speakers with an impedance of 4 ≠ to 16 ≠.
0 Setup: You have to change the setting on this unit if any
of the connected speakers have 4 ≠ or more to less than
8 ≠ impedance. Change the speaker impedance setting
to 4 ≠. (p15)

Connect the Speaker Cables
Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and
speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for
each channel. If the connection is wrong, a bass sound will
not be reproduced properly due to reverse phase. Twist the
wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable so that the
wires do not stick out of the speaker terminal when
connecting. If the exposed wires touch the rear panel, or the
+ side and - side wires touch each other, the protection
circuit will be activated.
