Speaker Connection
Before connection
Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an
impedance of 4 Ω or more.
The black speaker terminals are “_” (negative).
Generally, the “+” side of the speaker cable is marked to make
it distinguishable from the “_” side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the “+” terminal and the unmarked side to the
black “_” terminal.
Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off
approximately 3/8” (10 mm) or less of the outer insulation.
Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together:
CAUTION
The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or
an electrical short can occur. Removing too much insulation may
lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact
with each other. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a
failure in your equipment.
How to connect
1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker
terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.
2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap
clockwise to securely connect it:
Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only
the bare, stripped wire.
3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.
Subwoofer
Connect a subwoofer using a commercially-available RCA cable.
Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a “powered
subwoofer”.
Subwoofer
After all connections are complete, connect the power cord’s plug to the AC wall socket.
< Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.
< Be sure to connect each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the connection cords.
