TX-SR494 - Speaker Connections

Please use the following instructions as a guideline to connect your speakers to the TX-SR494 AV Receiver.

Connect speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω.

• If any of the speakers have an impedance of 4 Ω or more and less than 6 Ω, set "Speaker Impedance" to "4 ohms" for "Speaker Setup" in the Initial Setup section.

Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for each channel.

If the connection is wrong, a bass sound will not be reproduced properly due to reverse phase.

Twist the wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable so that the wires do not stick out of the speaker terminal when connecting.

If the exposed wires touch the rear panel, or the + side and - side wires touch each other, a malfunction may occur.

• This is a basic 5.1 Channel System.

• While performing 5.1-ch playback in the main room (ZONE A), you can enjoy 2-ch audio of the same source in the separate room (ZONE B) at the same time.

• You can configure a 5.1 Channel System by connecting front speakers that support Bi-Amping connection.
• The Bi-Amping connection can improve the quality of the low and high pitched ranges.
• Be sure to remove the jumper bar connecting the woofer jacks and tweeter jacks of the Bi-Amping supported speakers.
