CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with cable of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the speakers are improperly connected, no sound will be heard. Connect each speaker making sure that the polarity (+ and –) is correct.

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

If the cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass. Do not allow exposed wires to touch each other

or metal parts; this could damage the unit and speakers.

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel.
