Speaker terminals

< Use commercially available speaker cables.
< 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 red +
terminal and the unmarked side to the black _
terminal.

Caution:

< To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden

high-volume sound, be sure to switch the power off
before connecting the speakers.

< Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect

speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more.

< The metal portions of the two separate wires should

not touch or an electrical short could occur. Shorted
wires could create a fire hazard or induce a failure in
your equipment.

How to connect speakers:

1. Prepare the speaker cables for connection by

stripping off approximately 10 mm (1/2 inch) or
less of the outer insulation. (Removing too much
insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared
wires should come in contact with each other.) Twist
the strands of the stripped wires tightly together.

2. Turn the terminal cap counter clockwise to loosen it.

The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed
from the base.

3. Insert the wire into the terminal and turn the terminal

cap clockwise to securely connect it:

Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the
terminal, only the bare, stripped wire.

4. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable

lightly.

For European customers
In accordance with European safety regulations, it is
not possible to connect banana plugs into the speaker
terminals on European models. The holes into which
banana plugs are inserted have been covered with
black caps. Connect the speakers using spades or bare
wires. If the black caps become separated from the
terminals, return them to their original position.
