Precaution for connecting of the speaker cables
▪ Prepare speaker cables in a place away from the unit, to avoid
accidentally dropping wire strands into the unit's interior which could
result in a short circuit or malfunction of the unit.
▪ Improper connecting of the speaker cables may cause short circuit and
also damage the unit or the speakers.
– Twist the bare wires of the speaker cables
firmly together.
– Do not let the bare wires of the speaker
cable touch one another.
– Do not let the bare wires of the speaker
cable come into contact with the unit’s
metal parts (rear panel and screws).
▪ If “Check SP Wires” appear on the front display when the unit is turned
on, turn off the unit, and then check the speaker cables short circuit.

Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminals of the
unit and the speaker to each other, and the other is for the positive (+) terminals. If the
wires are colored to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the
other wire to the positive terminal.
1Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the ends of
the speaker cable, and twist the bare wires of the cable firmly
together.
2Loosen the speaker terminal.
3Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper
right or bottom left) of the terminal.
4Tighten the terminal.

back more high-quality sounds with bi-amp connections” (p.68).
Note
Surround speakers, bi-amp speakers or Zone B speakers cannot be connected simultaneously.
Connecting Zone B speakers
The Zone A/B function allows you to playback an input source in the room where the
unit is installed (Zone A) and in another room (Zone B). To connect the Zone B
speakers, see “Playing back music in multiple rooms” (p.69).
