■ Making the Connections
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.
* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down
before switching on power. Even with the volume all the way
down, you may still hear some sound when the power is
switched on, but this is normal, and does not indicate a
