and a total of two sets of speakers can be connected.
The same signal is output from the SPEAKER SYSTEMS A and B terminals.
When only one set of speakers is to be connected, use either the SPEAKER SYSTEMS A or B terminals.

Bi-wiring connection
This connection limits the effects of signal interference between the high range speakers (tweeters) and low range speakers (woofers), allowing you to
enjoy high quality playback.
When bi-wiring with bi-wireable speakers, connect the mid and high range terminals to SPEAKER SYSTEMS A (or B), the low range terminals to
SPEAKER SYSTEMS B (or A).

Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, CD players, network audio players and Blu-ray Disc players to this unit.
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.
NOTE
0
The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety grounding
purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a lot of noise, the noise can
be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable, connecting the ground line
may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary
to connect the ground line.
0
The PHONO input terminals are equipped with a short pin-plug. Remove this
plug to connect a record player. Store the removed short pin-plug in a safe place
so as not to lose it.

When using a 3D video device, the remote control unit of this unit may not function due to effects of infrared communications between units (such as TV
and glasses for 3D viewing). In this case, adjust the direction of units with the 3D communications function and their distance to ensure they do not
affect operations from the remote control unit of this unit.

Explanation of terms
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. This is the
same system used for CD audio but uses 192 kHz, 96 kHz, and 48 kHz
sampling frequencies on Blu-ray Disc or DVD and provides higher
resolution than CD.

Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Source direct
Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input
audio signals are output by bypassing the audio quality-control circuits
(BASS/TREBLE/BALANCE).
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
