Connecting speakers
■ Note on the speaker impedance
The unit supports the following speaker impedance.
• CH.2 A/B: 4  or more (8  or more when using CH.2 A and CH.2 B at the same time)
• Other channels: 6  or more Set the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR to the upper/lower position depending on the
speakers connected to the unit.
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.2 A or CH.2 B terminal
Upper position
• When using two pairs of speakers connected to the CH.2 A/B terminals at the
same time (be sure to use 8-ohm speakers for both CH.2 A and CH.2 B)
• When connecting speakers with impedance of less than 8  (6  or more) to
speaker terminals other than CH.2 A or CH.2 B
Lower position
Select this option when using speakers with impedance of 8
(default)

■ 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.
