Sony DAV-SC8: Step 1: Speaker System Hookup

Note

Do not catch the speaker cable insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

Tip

Connect the speaker cable after bending the speaker wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker cable

from being caught in the SPEAKER jack.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these

precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch

another speaker jack or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

removal of insulation.

After connecting all the components, speakers, and mains lead, output a test tone to check that all the

speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 68.

If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker

other than the one currently displayed in the front panel display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If

this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Note

Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords

are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
