to the LEFT channel 9and the RIGHT
channel ·SPEAKER OUTPUT terminals.)
The speakers to be connected should
have an impedance of 4Ωor greater.
When multiple speakers are to be
connected, ensure that the combined
impedance is 4Ωor greater.
The rated input of the speakers should be
no less than the maximum output of the
