Push the plugs in all the way. Poor setting of the plugs tends to cause hum or intermittent sound and may damage the speakers. NOTE: While you are connecting this unit to the rest of your high fidelity system, please unplug the power cord, disconnecting not only this unit but all the components, from the AC outlet. Do not interwind the connection wires with the power cord. If interwound, the sound quality may be degraded. Connecting the Speakers CAUTION: The rated impedance of the speakers to be connected should be in the range of 4 to 16 ohms. Connect the speaker wires carefully to the SPEAKER terminals so as not to mistake the left and right channels or reverse the speaker polarities (+ and -). Use sufficiently thick wire (16 gauge minimum) with low electrical resistance. It is recommended that color-coded wires be used for easy determination of polarities. Speaker wires should be as short as possible, and the left and the right channel wires should have the same length. Connect as follows: 1. Remove about 3/4 inch (20 mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and twist the stands of each conductor. 2. After making sure of the correct channel and polarity, loosen the SPEAKER terminal knob and insert the conductor directly into the recess at the upper-left of the terminal. Then tighten the terminal knob, and the end of speaker wire is automatically wound around the terminal. 3

Connecting
Other
Components
Carefully
connect
the
plugs
to
the
left
and
right
channel
jacks.
Push
the
plugs
in
all
the
way.
Poor
setting
of
the
plugs
tends
to
cause
hum
or
intermittent
sound
and
may
damage
the
speakers.
NOTE:
While
you
are
connecting
this
unit
to
the
rest
of
your
high
fidelity
system,
please
unplug
the
power
cord,
disconnecting
not
only
this
unit
but
all
the
components,
from
the
AC
outlet.
Do
not
interwind
the
connection
wires
with
the
power
cord.
If
interwound,
the
sound
quality
may
be
degraded.
Connecting
the
Speakers
CAUTION:
The
rated
impedance
of
the
speakers
to
be
connected
should
be
in
the
range
of
4
to
16
ohms.
Connect
the
speaker
wires
carefully
to
the
SPEAKER
terminals
so
as
not
to
mistake
the
left
and
right
channels
or
reverse
the
speaker
polarities
(+
and
—).
Use
sufficiently
thick
wire
(16
gauge
minimum)
with
low
electrical
resistance.
It
is
recommended
that
color
-coded
wires
be
used
for
easy
determination
of
polarities.
Speaker
wires
should
be
as
short
as
possible,
and
the
left
and
the
right
channel
wires
should
have
the
same
length.
Connect
as
follows:
1.
Remove
about
3/4
inch
(20
mm)
of
insulation
from
the
end
of
each
wire
and
twist
the
stands
of
each
conductor.
2.
After
making
sure
of
the
correct
channel
and
polarity,
loosen
the
SPEAKER
terminal
knob
and
insert
the
conductor
directly
into
the
recess
at
the
upper
-left
of
the
terminal.
Then
tighten
the
terminal
knob,
and
the
end
of
speaker
wire
is
automatically
wound
around
the
terminal.
