Notes:

•When connecting speaker cables, do not mistake the

(+) and (–) or the L (left) and R (right) terminals. If you connect the speaker cables incorrectly, there will be a loss of fidelity in the bass range.

•The speakers connected to the SL-107 SPEAKER LEVEL OUTPUT terminals must have an impedance equal to or greater than the rating indicated on the amplifier connected to the SPEAKER LEVEL INPUT terminals. Otherwise, the amplifier may be damaged.

•When you connect the speaker

cables, make sure the core wires

do not make contact with other terminals or metallic parts of the unit.

• Do not use BTL (Balanced Trans- former-Less) type amplifiers.

Using a BTL amplifier may damage both the amplifier and the subwoofer. Ordinary amplifiers are not BTL amplifiers. For more information, see the amplifier’s instruction manual.
