Connecting the Center speaker
• To connect the center speaker, use the same type of speaker
cord (6 m; tagged with "FRONT SPEAKER") as used for
connecting the front speakers.
• Each speaker cord has its name tag attached to one end.
Attach the end without the name tag to the speaker terminal.
Insert the speaker cord into the speaker
terminal.
1 Press and hold the clamp.
2 Insert the exposed core of the speaker
cord fully into the terminal.
• Connect the cord with the black stripe to the ·
terminal.
3 Release your finger.

Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·); otherwise, the
sound will lose the surround effect.
After connecting, check that the exposed cores are fully
inserted into the terminal.
Additional Information
Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier
Before connecting—
• Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the
speaker system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
• The impedance of each speaker is 8 Ω. Before connecting
them to your amplifier, check the speaker impedance range of
your amplifier. If the impedance of this speaker is out of the
speaker impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you
cannot connect this system to the amplifier.
• The maximum power handling capacity of the SX-XD33 is
100 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and
possible damage.
• Be sure to turn down the volume level to prevent unwanted
noise before performing following operations:
– Turning on or off other components,
– Operating the amplifier,
– Tuning FM stations,
– Fast-forwarding a tape,
3
– Continuously reproducing high frequency oscillation or high
pitch electronic sounds.
• When using a microphone, do not aim it at the speakers or
use it near the speakers; otherwise, the howling which occurs
may damage the speakers.
• Before replacing the cartridge, always turn off the power to the
turntable; otherwise, the clicking noise may damage the
speakers.
Typical connection method to an amplifier
Connect the speakers to a "SPEAKER" terminal of the amplifier
with the speaker cords by referring to the diagram below.
• Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·) when connecting
the speaker cords.
• The diagram below is an example of a typical connection
method.
