Speaker System Connections - Denon AVR-2801 Operating Instructions Manual

ENGLISH
Connecting the external input (EXT. IN) jacks
• These input jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals in high definition MUSE 3-1 format, multi-channel audio signals from an MPEG
multi-channel decoder, or future multi-channel sound format, etc.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
When connecting a high definition (MUSE 3-1 format)
component, use a separately sold mono/stereo cable if the
surround channel output is monaural.

Speaker system connections

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that
like polarities are matched (≈ with ≈ , √ with √ ). Mismatching of
polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of
the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo
being impaired.
• When making connections, take care that none of the individual
conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent
terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear
panel.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Speaker Impedance
• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be
connected for use as surround and center speakers.
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected
for use as front speakers.
• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the
same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than
8 Ω/ohms will lead to damage.
• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long
periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance
lower than the specified impedance are connected.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
