Speaker Connections
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers by inputing
a sudden high-level signal, be sure to
switch the power off before connecting the
speakers.

∑Before connecting

... Check the impedance of your speakers.
Connect speaker with an impedance of 8
to 16 ohms.
The amplifier's red speaker terminals
are the ≠ (positive) terminals and the
black terminals are the – (negative)
terminals.
... 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.
... Prepare
the speaker
connection by stripping
approximately 10 mm or less (no more as
this could cause a short-circuit) of the
outer insulation.

∑How to connect

(1) Twist the wires tightly together so that
they are not straggly.
(2) Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise
to loosen it.
The speaker terminal caps cannot be
fully removed from the base.
(3) Insert the wire into the terminal fully and
turn the terminal cap clockwise to
securely connect it.
(4) Make sure it is fastened firm by pulling
the cord lightly.
Press the lever, insert the stripped and
twisted end (approx. 10 mm) of the cord,
then release the lever so that the cord is
held securely.
