—Terminal posts—

Strip about 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Unscrew the terminal. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it’s touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the terminal tight.

—Push-type terminals—

Strip about 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Push the lever and insert the bare wires. Release the lever. Make sure the terminal is gripping the bare wires and not the insulation.

•Connect only speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower impedance may damage the speaker.

•Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the CD receiver.

•Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).
