Notes
on
speaker
system
hookup
*
Twist
the
stripped
ends
of
the
speaker
cords
about
2/3
inch
(10
mm).
Be
sure
to
match
the
speaker
cord
to
the
appropriate
terminal
on
the
components:
4
to
*
and
-
to
-.
If
the
cords
are
reversed,
the
sound
will
be
distorted
and
will
lack
bass.
*
If
you
use
front
speakers
with
low
maximum
input
rating,
adjust
the
volume
carefully
to
avoid
excessive
output
on
the
speakers.
To
avoid
short-circuiting
the
speakers
Short-circuiting
of
the
speakers
may
damage
the
receiver.
To
prevent
this,
make
sure
to
take
the
following
precautions
when
connecting
the
speakers.
Make
sure
the
stripped
ends
of
each
speaker
cord
does
not
touch
another
speaker
terminal
or
the
stripped
end
of
another
speaker
cord.
Examples
of
poor
conditions
of
the
speaker
cord
Stripped
cords
are
touching
each
other
due
to
excessive
removal
of
insulation.
After
connecting
all
the
components,
speakers,
and
AC
power
cord,
output
a
test
tone
to
check
that
all
the
speakers
are
connected
correctly.
For
details
on
outputting
a
test
tone,
see
page
21.
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
whose
name
is
currently
displayed
on
the
receiver,
the
speaker
may
be
short-circuited.
If
this
happens,
check
the
speaker
connection
again.
Speaker
impedance
To
enjoy
multi
channel
surround,
connect
front,
center,
and
rear
speakers
with
a
nominal
impedance
of
8
ohms
or
higher,
and
set
the
speaker
IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR
to
"80."
Check
the
instruction
manual
supplied
with
your
speakers
if
you're
not
sure
of
their
impedance.
(This
information
is
usually
printed
on
a
label
on
the
back
of
the
speaker.)
You
may
connect
a
pair
of
speakers
with
a
nominal
impedance
between
4
and
8
ohms
to
the
SPEAKERS
terminals,
if
you
set
the
IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR
to
"AQ."
Note
Be
sure
to
connect
front
speakers
with
a
nominal
impedance
of
8
ohms
or
higher
and
set
the
IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR
to
"4Q"
if
you
want
to
select
both
sets
(А+В)
of
front
speakers
(see

About
speaker
sizes
(LARGE
and
SMALL)
Internally,
the
LARGE
and
SMALL
settings
for
each
speaker
determine
whether
or
not
the
internal
sound
processor
will
cut
the
bass
signal
from
that
channel.
When
the
bass
is
cut
from
a
channel
the
bass
redirection
circuitry
sends
the
corresponding
bass
frequencies
to
the
sub
woofer
or
other
“LARGE”
speaker.
However,
since
bass
sounds
have
a
certain
amount
of
directionality
it
best
not
to
cut
them,
if
possible.
Therefore,
even
when
using
small
speakers,
vou
can
set
them
to
“LARGE”
if
vou
want
to
output
the
bass
frequencies
from
that
speaker.
On
the
other
hand,
if
you
are
using
a
large
speaker,
but
prefer
not
to
have
bass
frequencies
output
from
that
speaker,
set
it
to
“SMALL”.
If
the
overall
sound
level
is
lower
than
you
prefer
set
all
speakers
to
"LARGE".
If
there
is
not
enough
bass
you
can
use
the
equalizer
to
boost
the
bass
levels.
To
adjust
the
equalizer,
see
page
40.
