Connecting speakers

• (U.S.A. and Canada models only) The unit is configured to
8Ω speakers as the factory setting. 6Ω speakers can be also
connected.
• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models) Use the speakers
with an impedance of at least 6Ω.
• Use a subwoofer with a built-in amplifier.
• Disconnect the power plug before connecting the speakers.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of the unit.
If this happens, it may damage the unit or the speakers. If the
speaker cables short circuit, "CHECK SP WIRES!" will appear
on the front panel display when the unit is switched on.
Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the
negative (-) terminal of the unit and the speaker, and the
other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are color-
coded to prevent confusion, you should connect the black
side to the negative terminal and the other wire to the
positive terminal.

10 mm (0.4 in.) of insulation
