Connecting The Speakers - Onkyo SKS-22X Instruction Manual

Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your
speakers:
• Turn off your amp/receiver before making
any connections.
• The nominal impedance of these speakers is
6 Ω. Use only an amp/receiver that supports
this impedance.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polar-
ity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) ter-
minals to only negative (–) terminals. If the
speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound
will be out of phase and will sound unnatu-
ral.
• Be careful not to short
the positive and nega-
tive wires. Doing so
may damage your amp/
receiver.
■ Connecting the Speaker Cables
1
Strip the insulation
from the ends of
the speaker cables,
and twist the bare
wires tightly.
2
Use the cables to connect each
speaker's input terminals to the
corresponding speaker output ter-
minals on your amp/receiver.
To make a connection,
while pressing the ter-
minal lever, insert the
wire into the hole, and
then release the lever.
Make sure that the ter-
minals are gripping the bare wires, not
the insulation.

ual for details.
