CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge (cut as short as possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+)

Black: negative (–)

<U.S.A. and Australia models>

Select the position whose requirements your speaker system meets.

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

•Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear of this unit.

•Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

(Left position)

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 4Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 8Ω or higher.

(Right position)

<U.S.A. and Australia models>

If you use one pair of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.

If you use two pairs of speakers, the impedance of each speaker must be 12Ω or higher.

<Canada model only>

The impedance of each speaker must be 6Ω or higher.
