Speaker Connections

After all other connections are complete, connect the power cord plug to the AC wall socket.

oRead the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.

oThe metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.

oBe sure to connect each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the speaker cables together with the power cord.

Left speaker

Speaker cables

Connect the speakers to the SPEAKER terminals using commercially available speaker cables.

oUse the shortest speaker cables possible. As cables become longer, electrical resistance increases and damping characteristics may deteriorate. Moreover, inductance and capacitance also increase, degrading the quality of high frequency sounds.

oIdeally, left and right speaker cables should be the same length.
