ENGLISH
Speaker system connections
• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like
polarities are matched (< with <, > with >). Mismatching of polarities will
result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments,
and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.
• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors
of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other
speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
1. Push the lever.
Connection jack for subwoofer with built-in amplifier
(super woofer), etc.
To achieve Dolby Digital playback effect, use a unit
that can sufficiently reproduce frequencies of
under 80 Hz.

• Precautions when connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by
the speaker's magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position where
it does not have this effect.
Speaker Impedance
• When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with an
impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as front speakers.
• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time,
since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use
as center and surround and surround back speakers.
• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of
time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the
specified impedance are connected.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
