CONNECTIONS

■Connections

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), “+” (red) and “–” (black) in accordance with the markers on this unit, the speakers, and the speaker cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

CAUTION

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

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/ or the speakers.
