New member Username: Mikerod007Post Number: 5 Registered: Oct-07 | I apologize for this simple question. Since this HK is a stereo receiver, I thought there would be two connections for speakers. However, when I look at the back, I see four. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks |

Remember to maintain the proper polarity by always connecting the positive and negative terminals on each speaker to the positive and negative terminals on the receiver. If you wish to place a second pair of speakers in another room, or in the same room for additional sound power, connect those speakers to the Speaker 2 Outputs, again remembering to maintain polarity. You may use the Speaker 1/2 Selector on the front panel or remote to activate either or both pairs of speakers simultaneously."
