To avoid short-circuiting the speakers Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the receiver. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 30. 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 currently displayed on the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Notes • Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, 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. • When connecting the stripped ends of the speaker cords, make sure the ends do not touch each other or neighboring terminals.
