Connecting Speakers - Yamaha HTR-6060 Owner's Manual

Connecting speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red) and "–" (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
this unit cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.
Caution
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 25).
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage
this unit and/or the speakers. If the speaker wires are short-circuited, "CHECK SP WIRES" appears in the front
panel display when you turn on this unit.
• Use the magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.
• If you are to use 6 ohm speakers, be sure to set "SP IMP." to "6Ω MIN" before using this unit (see page 25). 4 ohm
speakers can be also used as the front speakers (see page 90).
Note
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe,
groove or ridge. Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red) terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable
to the "–" (black) terminals.
EXTRA SP terminals
Connect the alternative front speaker system (FRONT B) or presence speakers. To
select the function of the speakers connected to the EXTRA SP terminals, set the
"EXTRA SP ASSIGN" parameter in "SOUND MENU" (see page 72).
y
You can also select the function of the speakers connected to the EXTRA SP
terminals in "AUTO SETUP" (see page 29).
