Connecting Speakers - Yamaha DSP-Z11 Owner's Manual

Connecting speakers

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), "+" (red line) and "–" (white line) properly. If the connections are faulty, this unit
cannot reproduce the input sources accurately.
Caution
• Before connecting the speakers, make sure that this unit is turned off (see page 39).
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/
or speakers.
• Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speaker still creates interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the
monitor.
• If you are to use 6-ohm speakers, be sure to set "SPEAKER IMP." to "6ΩMIN" before using this unit (see page 39).
Notes
• A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red line) terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain cable to the "–" (white line)
terminals.
• You can use the REAR ZONE/PRESENCE, FRONT ZONE/PRESENCE, and/or EXTRA SP speaker terminals for the Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4
speakers (see page 116). You can also use all speaker terminals on this unit for the Zone 2, Zone 3, and/or Zone 4 speakers (see page 120).
