Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the this unit, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

Connecting the speaker cables

Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

NOTE

•Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (vpage 71 “Protection

Circuit”).

•Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.

•Use speakers with the speaker impedances shown below.
