How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is the + and markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Caution Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or speakers. For connecting to the MAIN SPEAKERS terminals Red: positive (+) Black: negative () For connecting to the REAR and CENTER SPEAKERS terminals Red: positive (+) Black: negative ()
Unscrew the knob. Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4) insulation from the speaker wires.] Tighten the knob and secure the wire.
Press the tab. Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm (1/4) insulation from the speaker wires.] Release the tab and secure the wire.
Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.
OUTPUT terminals (for driving speakers with external amplifiers)

CENTER OUTPUT terminal

This terminal is for center channel line output. There is no connection to this terminal when you use the built-in amplifier. However, if you drive a center speaker with an external power amplifier, connect the input terminal of the external amplifier to this terminal.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUT terminal
This terminal is for connecting with the input terminal of an amplifier for driving a subwoofer. This terminal outputs only frequencies below 200 Hz from the main and center channels. Note Output level of signals from these terminals are adjusted by the use of VOLUME control on the front panel or VOLUME keys on the remote control transmitter.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch
Be sure to switch this only when the power of this unit is turned off. Select the position whose requirements your speaker system meets. (Upper position) Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 6 or higher.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR

Center: If you use one center speaker, the impedance of the speaker must be 6 or higher. If you use two center speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 3 or higher. Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4 or higher. If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8 or higher.
(Lower position) Rear: The impedance of each speaker must be 8 or higher.
Center: If you use one center speaker, the impedance of the speaker must be 8 or higher. If you use two center speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4 or higher. Main: If you use one pair of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8 or higher. <Except Canada model> If you use two pairs of main speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 16 or higher.

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following diagram. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement. Outdoor FM antenna Indoor FM antenna (included) Outdoor AM antenna
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 75-ohm coaxial cable
AM loop antenna (included)
75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter 300-ohm feeder
Ground Connecting the AM loop antenna
Orient so that the best reception is obtained.
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.

GND terminal

For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.
Notes q When connecting the indoor FM antenna, insert its connector into the FM ANT terminal firmly. q If you need an outdoor FM antenna to improve FM reception quality, either 300-ohm feeder or coaxial cable may be used. In locations troubled by electrical interference, coaxial cable is preferable.
