Connecting external devices
oConnecting speakers
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be
sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.
1Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the
tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire
tightly or terminate it.
.
2Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen
it.
.
3Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the
speaker terminal.
.
4Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
.
NOTE
0Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the
speakers. Also, turn off any connected powered subwoofers.
0Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker
terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear
panel or if the + and – sides touch each other.
0Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so
could result in electric shock.
0Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms. The protection circuit may be
activated if speakers with an impedance other than specified are used.
0Depending on the speakers that are connected, the protection circuit may activate
and the power may be turned off when music is played at a high volume (The
Status indicator flashes in red). If this happens, configure the “Volume Limit”
setting. (v p. 41)

Setting up your first HEOS Amp
Once you have placed your HEOS Amp in your listening room and have downloaded the HEOS app, you are ready to configure your HEOS Amp for
music playback. This involves following a few simple steps to get the HEOS Amp connected to your existing home network:
Caution

network, use an Ethernet cable to connect the HEOS Amp to your network or router.
1Make sure your mobile device is connected to your
wireless network (the same network you want your
HEOS Amp connected to). You can check this in the
Settings - Wi-Fi menu of your iOS or Android device.
NOTE
0If your wireless network is secure, make sure you know the password to join
your network.
2Make sure you have the included
Audio/Setup cable handy.
3Launch the HEOS app on your
mobile device.
4Tap the “Setup Now” button at the top of the screen.
5Follow the instructions to add the HEOS Amp to your
wireless network. (The Wi-Fi settings from your mobile
device will be copied to the HEOS Amp via the audio
cable.)

The HEOS wireless multi-room sound system is a true multiroom audio system that automatically synchronizes audio playback between multiple HEOS
devices so that the audio coming from different rooms is perfectly in sync and always sounds amazing! You can easily add up to 32 devices to your HEOS

Adding wired HEOS devices
