 Speaker connection

Front speakers
Connect each speaker wire to the FRONT SPEAKER termi-
nals as shown.
Use speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or more, as
lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.

 Connect the black wire to the minus (-) terminal, and the

red wire to the plus (+) terminal.

Surround speakers
Connect each speaker wire to the SURROUND SPEAKER
terminals as shown.
Use speakers with an impedance of 16 ohms or more, as
lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.

 Connect the wire with the white line to the minus (-) ter-

minal and the plain wire to the plus (+) terminal.

 Do not mistake the right channel for the left channel

when connecting the speakers to the unit. The right
speaker is the one on the right side when you are facing
the front of the unit.

 Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other as this

may damage the amplifier and/or speakers.

 Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the

bass reflex ducts.

 Do not stand or sit on the speakers. If the speakers fall or

collapse, you may be injured.

 Placing the speaker system

To enjoy the surround effect, we recommend that you place
each speaker as shown below.

Placing the front speakers:
The left and right speakers have individual shapes. For best
performance, place the speakers according to the diagram
below.

Installation of the surround speakers:
If possible, mount the surround speakers on the wall. Install
them 60 - 90 cm (23" - 35") above the height of your ears
when you are seated.
