Connecting Speakers And Subwoofers - Yamaha RX-A3000 Owner's Manual

Connecting speakers and subwoofers

Connect your speakers to their respective terminals on the rear panel.
CAUTION
• Remove the power cable of this unit from the power outlet before connecting the speakers.
• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different colored (or lined) cable into the "+"
(positive, red) terminal on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the "–" (negative, black) terminal.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, "CHECK SP
WIRES!" will appear on the front panel display when this unit is switched on.
■ Front/Center/Surround/Surround back speaker and
Subwoofer connection
When connecting only one surround back speaker, connect the
speaker to the SURROUND BACK L (SINGLE) jacks.
