Connecting to Other Devices—Continued
Notes
Two sets of speakers can be connected to the amplifier. You can select which speakers to output audio to when listening to music. You can also output audio from both sets of speakers.
-North American model:
If you only connect one set of speakers (A or B), make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 2 to 16 Ohms.
If you connect both sets of speakers (A and B), make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ohms. If you connect speakers with impedance less than 4 Ohms, it may cause the protection circuit to activate.
-Other models:
If you only connect one set of speakers (A or B), make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ohms.
If you connect both sets of speakers (A and B), make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 Ohms. If you connect speakers with impedance less than 8 Ohms, it may cause the protection circuit to activate.
!Caution
-Take care of the positive and negative wires when connecting the left and right speakers. Mixing up the connections will cause the audio to sound unnatural.
-Do not connect more than one speaker wire to a single speaker terminal. Doing so could damage the unit or cause it to malfunction.
-When using only one speaker, or when playing back monaural audio, do not connect a single speaker to both the left and right speaker terminals.
Danger
Never allow the positive and negative speaker wires to touch. Doing so could damage the circuit.
Connecting Audio Components
Connecting a Turntable
Turn off the unit.
Use the MM/MC selector on the back of the unit to select either MM or MC, in accordance with the cartridge format of the turntable.
!Caution
Always turn off the unit before switching between MM and MC.
Remove the short pins plugged into the PHONO inputs.
Connect the unit as shown in the drawing.
Ground wire
OUTPUT
L
R
!Caution
If the turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the unit's GND screw. Note, however, that for some turntables, connecting the ground wire will increase the noise. If this happens, do not connect the ground wire.
