battery’s negative terminal before making connections.
l Only use speakers that have impedance ratings of 4 ohms or higher and have power-handling
capabilities greater than the receiver’s stated power level.
l
The unit’s internal amplifier is designed to handle a 4-ohm load on each pair of speaker leads.
l
DON’T connect two soeakers to a of speaker leads (“in parallel”) unless both speakers
each have at least 8 ohms impedance.
l
DON’T connect the left and leads to each other or to the same speakers.
l
DON’T connect the front and speaker leads to each other or to the same speakers.
l
