Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 10
mm (2/3 inch). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + 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.
• You can also connect Micro Satellite Speaker (e.g.
SA-VE230) to the receiver. Micro Satellite Speaker is a
5.1 Channel speaker system consisting of two front
speakers, two rear speakers, one center speaker and one
subwoofer.
* STR-DE545 and STR-SE501 only.
