Connecting speaker systems

Connecting left and right speakers

Before connecting

The load impedance of each speaker must be at least 4 ohms.

Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker cords. Otherwise, the DC resis- tance of the speaker cords may become too high, lowering the damping factor and causing the sound quality to deteriorate.

Do not connect the speaker cord to the L and R connectors at the same time and do not connect two or more speakers to the same speaker connectors.
