Connection

7Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier

Before connection—

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

•The impedance of the speaker is 6 Ω. Before connecting it to your amplifier, check the speaker impedance range of your amplifier. If the impedance of this speaker is out of the speaker impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you cannot connect this system to the amplifier.

•The maximum power handling capacity of the SX-LT55 is 150 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage.

•Be sure to turn down the volume level 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.

•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 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.

	Rotate the speaker terminal
(Red)	knob counterclockwise and fit
	the speaker cord into the
(Black)	groove. Then rotate the knob
	clockwise to secure the cord.

•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.
