Connecting Your Speakers

Before you connect your speakers, read the following:

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.

Only use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.

Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

Be careful not to short the posi-

tive and negative connections. NO

Doing so may damage the CD

Receiver.

Don’t connect more than one

cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the CD Receiver.

If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair, connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not both.
