Speaker Hookups (Bi-wired Connections)

Components the Up Hooking

When the speakers you are making connections to can be bi-wired, bi-wired connections can be made to this unit. Connect the two sets of jacks on the speaker to the SPEAKERS A and B terminals on this unit using two speaker cords for each speaker. For details, refer to the instructions supplied with the speakers.

Connecting the speaker cords Caution

This is a high output amplifier. Touching the stripped end of the speaker cords when the power is on may result in injury.

•Be sure to check that the amplifier is turned off before making any connections.

•Strip both ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm

(3/8 in.) and twist the wire strands of the cord together (A).

•Insert each end of the speaker cord fully into the speaker terminal.

Be sure the stripped portion of the speaker cord does not protrude outside of the speaker terminal cover (USA/Canada only) nor from the speaker terminal (B).

Connect the jacks on the speaker to the power amplifier’s SPEAKERS A and B terminals.

Notes on speaker hookup

•Connect the right speaker to the “R” terminals, and connect the left speaker to the “L” terminals.

•Be sure to match the ends of the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

•When the maximum input level of the speakers you are using is low, try to avoid excessive power output from this unit to the speakers by controlling the volume on the preamplifier. Continuously playing an audio source at a level that distorts the audio output may damage the speakers.

•The speaker terminals on this unit are compatible with Y lug jack connection (European model only).

zAbout bi-wired connections

Bi-wired connections can be carried out when the speaker has two sets of input terminals that separate high and low frequency audio signals.
