Audio equipment connections

Do not piug in the power cord until all connections have been made.

On each pair of input jacks, a red connector (marked R) corresponds to the right channel, and a white connector (marked L) to the left channel.

Please refer to the instruction manual of each component when making any con- nections.

Insert the plugs and connectors securely. Remember that improper connection can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.

Do not bind audio connection calls with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may degrade sound quality.
