Speaker Connection
Note:
< Use commercially available speaker cables.
Ideally, left and right speaker cables should be the same
length. And the length of cables should be as short as
possible for better sound quality.
< 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.
< The metal portions of the two separate wires should not
touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can
create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.
CAUTION:
< Switch off the power to all equipment before making
connection.
< Read the instructions of each component you intend to use
with this unit.
< Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and
noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables
together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.
