Strip about 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Unscrew the terminal. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it’s touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the terminal tight.

•Connect only speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower impedance may damage the speaker.

•Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the CD receiver.

•Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).
