• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been
completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the owner's manual of the
other components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left,

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the unit, and be
sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing

from the tip of the speaker cable, then
either twist the core wire tightly or
apply solder to it.
Turn the speaker terminal

NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω. The protection circuit
may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than specifi ed
are used.
• Connect the speaker cables so they do not stick out of the speaker
terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the wires
touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (v
"Protection circuit").
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
The protection circuit is be activated in the following situations:
• If the speaker cable wire touches the rear panel or screws or if the
speaker cable wire touches the speaker cable's + and – sides are
touching
• If the surrounding temperature is extremely high
• If the inside of the amplifi er gets hot to extended use at a high
output
If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections
of the speaker cables and input cables. If the unit becomes very hot,
wait for it to cool off and improve the ventilation around it. After doing
this, plug the power cord back in.
If the protection circuit is activated even though there are no problems
with the ventilation around the unit or in connections, the unit may
be damaged. Turn off the power and then contact a DENON service
center.
