CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible. If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)

Unscrew the knob.

Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]

Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.

Notes

One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit.
If you connect only one speaker system, connect it to either
the SPEAKERS A or B terminals.

Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.

Banana Plug connections are also possible. Simply insert
the Banana Plug connector into the corresponding terminal.

ABOUT THE ACCESSORY TERMINALS

AC OUTLETS (SWITCHED)

Use these to connect the power cords from your components
to this unit.
The power to the SWITCHED outlets is controlled by this unit’s
POWER switch or the provided remote control transmitter’s
POWER key. These outlets will supply power to any
component whenever this unit is turned on.
The maximum power (total power consumption of
components) that can be connected to the SWITCHED AC
OUTLETS
is 100 watts.

GND terminal (For turntable use)

Connecting the ground wire of the turntable to the GND
terminal will normally minimize hum, but in some cases better
results may be obtained with the ground wire disconnected.
Use one of the two GND terminals on the rear of this unit for
the connection.
