Hi
I was watching a BD and wanted to check a speaker connection.
I paused the film, but left the AV receiver on. I then disconnected and reconnected the positive and negative speaker cables one at a time on one of the speakers.
Is it OK to do this with the receiver still on?
I cant think of it doing any harm, as I am assuming the following:
When paused, no audio signal is being sent therefore no current is flowing through the speaker cables.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the positive and negative cables one at a time would prevent any accidental shorts any way as the ends could never touch.
Is this a fair assumption?
Or is there something Ive overlooked as to why the above might be bad practise?
