Connections
Caution
• A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently
or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the "+" (red) terminal of this unit
and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the "–" (black) terminal of this
unit and the other end to that of your speaker.
• Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
speakers. If the circuit shorts out, "CHECK SP WIRES!" appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned
on.
• If images on the monitor (CRT) are distorted, place the speakers away from the video monitor. If it does not work,
use magnetically shielded speakers.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger. Set speaker impedance in the advanced setup menu before
connecting the speakers (page 64). You can also use 4-ohm speakers as the front speakers when you set "SP IMP." to
"6ΩMIN".
