NAMES AND
FUNCTION
The connection example given below shows the connections between the amplifier and AV8003 AV pre-tuner for basic sound reproduction through 7 channels.
When using the BALANCED inputs, use the XLR audio cables; when using the UNBALANCED inputs, use the RCA audio cables. Connect the PRE OUT connectors on the control amplifier to the input connectors on this
amplifier. Use this connection example as a reference when a control amplifier other than the AV8003 is to be used.
Notes:
• Do not connect the power cables of this amplifier and other components to the AC outlet until all the connections have been completed.
CONNECTIONS
• Insert the plugs on the connecting cables firmly into the connectors. Noise may be caused by improper connections.
• For details on the components connected to this amplifier, refer to the operating instructions of each component.

Notes:
OTHERS
• Speakers come with "+" and "-" terminals. When connecting the speakers to the amplifier, connect their "+"
terminals to the "+" connectors on the amplifier and, similarly, connect their "-" terminals to the "-" connectors.
If a "+" terminal is connected to a "-" connector, the signal phase will be reversed, and the music played through
the speakers will sound unnatural. Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers, and properly reconnect the
speakers.
• Connect speaker systems with an impedance of at least 6 Ω to the amplifier. If speakers with an impedance of under
6 Ω are used and sound is played at high volume levels for prolonged periods, the amplifier may experience an
extreme rise in temperature, tripping the protection circuit.
• If the AV8003 AV pre-tuner is connected to the amplifier and one surround back speaker is to be used, connect the
speaker to the surround back left channel (SBL).
If this is the case, the setting must be performed on the AV8003. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the
AV8003.) When using a control amplifier other than the AV8003, follow the operating instructions of the amplifier
used, and connect the speaker properly.
