Connecting Speakers
Connecting Your Speakers
• Connect the right speaker to the CD receiver’s right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the left
(L) SPEAKERS terminals.
• Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the CD receiver.
Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the CD receiver. Use
the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.
• Connect only speakers with an impedance of between
4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower
impedance may damage the speaker.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the CD receiver.
• Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R
terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two
speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).
