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
STANDBY/ON switch or the provided remote control
transmitter’s STANDBY/ON 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.

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 the + and –
markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or
speakers.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the
rear of this unit.
Note
One or two speaker systems can be connected to this unit. If
you use only one speaker system, connect it to either the
SPEAKERS A or B terminals.
