Connecting the speakers

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 Ω to 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

•Connect the speakers to the speaker terminals as shown above.

Connections for the left speaker are shown. Connect the right speaker in the same way. You can use either bare wire connections to do this (see below).

Bare wire connections

Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is properly prepared with about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).
