Use the front speakers having nominal impedance of more
than 8 ohms in the SURROUND mode.
Note
When connecting the speaker cord to the speaker terminal,
make sure that the polarity (+ and -) of the speaker cord is
correct. If the polarity is reversed at either speaker, the
sound will be distorted and will lack bass,
Connect the AC power cord to the wall outlet last of all.
By connecting the power cord of the other audio equipment
to SWITCHED AC OUTLET, this unit can supply the power
source to the other audio equipment.
Caution
Be careful that the total power consumption of each
equipment connected to the outlets on the receiver does not
exceed 120 watts (for U.S.A. and Canadian models) or 100
watts (for Australian model).
Do not connect electrical home appliances such as an
electric iron, fan, TV, or other high-wattage equipment to
