DVS 510 Series • Installation 12
To connect speakers to the DVS 510 SA built-in amplifier, terminate the speaker cable as
follows:
1. Strip the end of the cable 3/16 inches (5 mm).
CAUTIONS: • The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical.
The ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). If the exposed portion is
longer, the wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. If
the exposed wires are shorter, they can be easily pulled out, even if
tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can
become loose over time.
2. Secure the wires into the supplied 4-pole captive screw connector.
CAUTION: Do not short the + and - outputs to each other because this will damage
the amplifier.
The following table shows which speaker wires to connect to the positive and negative
pins of the Amplified output connector.

speaker system. (See figure 10 on the next page for examples.)
