Sony TA-AX310 User Manual

SPEAKER CONNECTION
The unit has provision for two pairs of speaker
systems— system A and system B—which can be
selected individually or simultaneously by means of the
front panel SPEAKERS select buttons.
Note that the speaker systems A and B are series-
connected. Connect the second speaker system to the
SPEAKER B inputs.
No sound will be heard if only one of the speaker
systems is connected and the SPEAKERS select but¬
tons A and B are depressed.
Speaker impedance and power capacity
This amplifier is designed to work best with speakers
having nominal impedance from 8 to 16 ohms, and rated
at 32 watts minimum RMS per channel with an 8-ohm
load from 40 - 20,000 Hz. Be sure not to use speakers
with impedance less than 8 ohms and to use adequate
power handling capabilities.
Speaker cord connection
"| Strip the outer covering and twist the wires.
Speaker placement
Here are a few suggestions on basic speaker
placement.
— Place each speaker with its back 3—5 cm (1V«-2”)
from a hard wall in a similar acoustic environment.
— Set your speaker system up on a hard, flat floor or
pedestals. Carpets, draperies and upholstered fur¬
niture will miminize the multiple reflections of high-
frequency sound which reduce the stereo effect.
— Generally we recommend that the speaker/listener
relationship be an equilateral triangle. If the
speaker separation is too wide, face the speakers a
little towards each other.

— Place the speakers no higher than your ears when
you are seated, if the speakers are to be positioned
above the floor.
