Requirement for selecting speaker cables (one pair)
In order to output high quality sound signals, prepare a pair of speaker cables of
the required length. Use speaker cables that are terminated with either one of the
following two options.
 With cable core (less than 4 mm (5/32 in) in diameter) bared by stripping 10 mm
(13/32 in) of sleeve off the ends of each cable
The bare cable core may become oxidized over time. In that case, reconnect
the speaker cables after stripping the sleeve to expose a fresh segment of cable
core at each end. This will ensure you can enjoy better sound.
 With spade plugs (more than 6 mm (1/4 in) in inside diameter, and less than
12 mm (1/2 in) in outside diameter)
