Other models: • The load impedance of each speaker system connected to this unit must be at least 4 ohms. (If using only A or only B, 4 ohms min.; if A and B, 8 ohms min.) Connecting:the speaker' cables -Atr • - I. Open the lever. 2. Twist wire ends very tight, and insert the wire. 3. Close the lever. Before making any connections, please refer to the explanation of "Speaker impedance". Connecting the speakers ," • You can connect two separate' pairs of speaker systems. Please connect each speaker according to the illustration, observing the correct con- nections for R, L, + and -. • Do not use unnecessarily long or extremely thin speaker leads. If the DC resistance of the speaker leads is too high, the damping factor will decrease, adversely affecting the sound quality. • When using only one speaker or when you wish to listen to monaural (mono), the single speaker should never be con- nected in parallel to both the right and left channel terminals at the same time. 0 0 0 O OO +- - R L 0 0 0 R L 9
