VPrecautions when connecting speakers
ooConnect the power plugs after all connections have been made.
ooCarefully read the operation manuals of the devices that you are connecting and follow their instructions.
VCaution
ooThis unit works with speakers that have nominal impedances between 4 Ω and 8 Ω. Use of speakers with impedances of less than 4 Ω, in particular, could cause the protection circuit to activate and sound output to stop. In some cases, damage could even occur to this unit and the speakers.
ooThis unit's red terminal is positive (+) and its black terminal is negative (_).
ooIf the exposed end of a core wire in a speaker cable contacts another cable or terminal, a short could occur.
ooNever allow a speaker cable to short.
ooTo avoid noise, do not bundle the speaker cables with the power cord or other cables.
Connecting speaker cables
1 Remove about 1 cm (0.4") of the sheath at the end of the speaker cable and twist the cable core well.
2 Turn the terminal cap left (counterclock- wise) to loosen it.
3 Insert the wire into the hole in the terminal screw and turn the terminal cap right (clockwise) to connect it securely.
ooDo not allow the cable sheath to touch the terminal.
4Make sure it is connected securely by gen- tly pulling on the cable.
Connecting speakers using banana plugs
You can also connect speakers using commercially available banana plugs. Connect the speaker cable to the banana plug first, and then insert the plug into the terminal.
ooLoosen the terminal cap before using the banana plug. ooCarefully read the instructions of the banana plugs that
you intend to use with this unit.
For European customers
EN
In accordance with European safety regulations, it is not possible to connect banana plugs to the speaker terminals on European models. The holes into which banana plugs are inserted have been covered with black caps. Connect the speakers using spades or bare wires. If the black caps become separated from the terminals, return them to their original position.
