Connecting speakers
Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with the wire with the proper gauge (keep it as short as possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the + and – polarity markings of the speaker wires are observed and set correctly. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit or the speakers, or both.
●One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you use only one speaker system, connect it to either the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
●Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.
●<Australia, China and General models only> Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch *1
WARNING
Do not change the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch setting while the power to this unit is on, otherwise this unit may be damaged.
If this unit fails to turn on when the POWER switch is pressed:
The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch may not be set to either end. If so, set the switch to either end when this unit’s power supply is completely cut off.

(Right position)
If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.
If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.
(Left position)
If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.
If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 12Ω or higher.
AC OUTLET(S) (SWITCHED) *2
(Europe, China and General models)
...................................................... | 3 SWITCHED OUTLETS |
(U.K. and Australia models) | 1 SWITCHED OUTLET |
Use these to connect the power cords of your components to this unit.
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s POWER or STANDBY/ON switch. These outlets will supply power to any connected unit whenever this unit is turned on.
The maximum power (total power consumption of components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC OUTLETS is 100W.
GND terminal (For turntable use) *3
Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to the GND terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
