Connecting the speakers
The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using
at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

the right to the right (R) terminal and the
speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal.
Also make sure the positive and negative
(+/–) terminals on the receiver match those
on the speakers.

connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC
