Cautions:

Do not connect the system to AC power until you complete the speaker and antenna connec- tions.

Be sure to follow all the instruc- tions in the enclosed “Safety Instructions” sheet.

CONNECTING

SPEAKERS

Cautions:

Never operate the system without first connecting speakers.

To avoid damaging your system and speakers, never let the speaker wire’s bare ends touch each other.

Note: You can operate the system without connecting optional rear speakers.

Note: If you want to connect front speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers with an imped- ance of 8 ohms.

1.Flip open the pair of terminal tabs marked FRONT SPEAKERS R (+ and –) on the back of the sys- tem, then insert the right front speaker’s red wire into the red (+) terminal and its black wire into the black (–) terminal. Then push the tabs in the opposite direction to lock them.

2.Repeat Step 1 to connect the left front speaker’s wires to the termi- nals marked FRONT SPEAKERS L

(+ and –).

Connecting the Front

Speakers

For the maximum bass response and best overall performance, connect the supplied front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals on the back of the system so their polarities match (black to negative, and red to posi- tive).

Connecting Rear Speakers

For wider stereo response and a sim- ulated surround effect, you can con- nect optional rear stereo speakers to the REAR SPEAKERS terminals on the back of the system. Be sure to con- nect them according to the proper po- larity (black to negative, and red to positive).
