SPEAKER CABLES

1. Remove about 10 mm of the covering from the end of the speaker cable.

2. Twist the bare part of the cable tightly to prevent short-circuiting.

3. Turn the speaker connector counterclockwise to loosen it.

4. Insert the bare part of the speaker cable into the hole at the side of the speaker connector.

5. Turn the speaker connector clockwise to tighten it up.

1.2.

Notes:

•To protect the circuitry from damage, do not connect two bare speaker cables together or allow them to touch any metal parts of the ampliﬁer.

•Due to the risk of electric shock, do not touch the speaker connectors while the power is supplied.

Notes:

•Speakers come with "+" and "-" terminals. When connecting the speakers to the ampliﬁer, connect their "+" terminals to the "+" connectors on the ampliﬁer and, similarly, connect their "-" terminals to the "-" connectors. If a "+" terminal is connected to a "-" connector, the signal phase will be reversed, and the music played through the speakers will sound unnatural. Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers, and properly reconnect the speakers.

•Connect speaker systems with an impedance of at least 6 Ω to the ampliﬁer. If speakers with an impedance of under 6 Ω are used and sound is played at high volume levels for prolonged periods, the ampliﬁer may experience an extreme rise in temperature, tripping the protection circuit.

•If the AV8003 AV pre-tuner is connected to the ampliﬁer and one surround back speaker is to be used, connect the speaker to the surround back left channel (SBL).

If this is the case, the setting must be performed on the AV8003. (For details, refer to the operating instructions of the AV8003.) When using a control ampliﬁer other than the AV8003, follow the operating instructions of the ampliﬁer used, and connect the speaker properly.
