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.
