Connecting speakers

■ Note on the speaker impedance

The unit supports the following speaker impedance.

• CH.3 A/B: 4  or more (8  or more when using CH.3 A and CH.3 B at the same time)

• BRIDGE connection: 8  or more

•Other channels: 6  or more

Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the upper/lower position depending on the speakers

connected to the unit.

■ Connecting speaker cables

Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminal of the unit and the

speaker, and the other is for the positive (+) terminal. If the wires are colored to prevent confusion,

connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive terminal.

a Remove approximately 10 mm (0.40 in) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cable, and

twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.

b Loosen the speaker terminal.

c Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper left or bottom right) of the

terminal.

d Tighten the terminal.

Using a banana plug

(U.S.A., Canada, China, Taiwan and Australia models only)

a Tighten the speaker terminal.

b Insert a banana plug into the end of the terminal.

Upper position

Select this option when your speaker system meets one of the followings.

• When connecting speakers with impedance of less than 8  (4  or more) to the CH.3

A or CH.3 B terminal

• When using two pairs of speakers connected to the CH.3 A/B terminals at the same

time (be sure to use 8-ohm speakers for both CH.3 A and CH.3 B)

• When simultaneously using speakers of 8 Ω or more connected to both CH.3 A

terminals and CH.4 terminals.

• When connecting speakers with impedance of less than 8  (6  or more) to speaker

terminals other than CH.3 A or CH.3 B

Lower position

(default)

Select this option when using speakers with impedance of 8

 or more only.
