Connection

7Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier

Before connecting:

•Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·) when connecting the speaker cords.

•Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the speaker system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

•The impedance of each speaker is 6 Ω.

If this does not match with the speaker impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you cannot connect this system to the amplifier.

•The maximum power handling capacity of the SX-L77 is

180 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage.

•Be sure to turn down the volume level on the amplifier to prevent unwanted noise before performing following operations:

–Turning on or off other components

–Operating the amplifier

–Tuning FM stations

–Fast-forwarding a tape

–Continuously reproducing high frequency oscillation or high pitch electronic sounds

–Connecting or disconnecting a microphone

•When using a microphone, do not aim it at the speakers or use it near the speakers; otherwise, the howling which occurs may damage the speakers.

•Before replacing the cartridge, always turn off the power both to the amplifier and to the turntable; otherwise, the clicking noise may damage the speakers.

•Use speaker cords as follows;

–Buy thick speaker cords rather than thin cords, and make them as short as possible for connection.

–Use speaker cords of the same length for both left and right speakers.

–Do not use long speaker cords; otherwise, the sound quality may deteriorate.

–Using a special speaker cord such as a litz wire, a coaxial cable, or a cord which has the specified connecting directionality may influence the sound quality.

7Connecting the speaker cord

Connect the “INPUT” terminal of the speaker to the speaker terminal of the amplifier.

•Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·); otherwise, the surround effect will become less effective.

7Conventional connection

1Loosen the knobs of the “FULL RANGE” terminals.

2Fit the speaker cords into the grooves of the “FULL RANGE” terminals, then tighten the knobs to secure the speaker cords and short-circuit plates.

7Bi-wiring connection

This speaker is bi-wireable. Comparing with the conventional connection, the bi-wiring connection makes the sound field larger, deeper, and richer.

1Loosen all speaker terminal knobs and detach the short-circuit plates.

2Connect the “FULL RANGE” terminals and “LOW FREQUENCY” terminals separately to the speaker terminals of the amplifier.
