Connecting Speakers
Be sure to connect the right channel (R), left channel (L), “+” (red) and “–” (black) properly. If the connections are faulty, no
sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural
and lack bass.
CAUTION
• Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear panel of this unit.
• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage the unit and/or speakers.
■ Speaker cables
