After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test
tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 27.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a
speaker other than the one currently displayed on the front panel display, the speaker may be
short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
- Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: @ to 0, and 0 to 0. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack
bass.
