Connections for the left speaker are shown. Connect the right speaker in the same way. You can use either bare wire connections or banana plugs to do this (see below).

To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire (fig. B). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal until the wire is firmly clamped (fig. C).

Important

•Please refer to the manual that came with your speakers for details on how to connect the other end of the speaker cables to your speakers.

Caution

•These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS live voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

•Make sure no exposed speaker wire is touching the rear panel, this may cause the receiver to turn off automatically.

Bare wire connections

Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is properly prepared with about 3/8 inch of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).

Plugging in

Make sure to complete all connections before connecting to an AC outlet.

•Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN inlet on the rear panel of the receiver, then plug into a power outlet.
