Connecting Your Speakers
Before you connect your speakers, read the following:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–)
terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound odd.
• Only use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or
higher. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and
use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period
of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect
the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the posi-
tive and negative connections.
Doing so may damage the CD
Receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one
cable to each speaker terminal.
Doing so may damage the CD
Receiver.
• If you want to connect a single speaker instead of a pair,
connect it to either the left or right speaker terminals, not
both.
