Tips

Appendix

Place the LEFT and RIGHT speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. The distance between each speaker and your TV should also be the same.

Connecting speakers
Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

Before connecting speakers

NOTE
0 Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.
0 Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 205))
0 Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 8 in the separate “Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant” screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)
0 Use speakers with an impedance of 4 ­ 16 /ohms.

Settings

Tips

Appendix

NOTE
0 Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 ­ 6 /ohms.
