Speaker Connection Subwoofer Caution: To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers. How to connect 1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base. Before connection Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 4 Ω or more. 2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it: 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 "+" terminal and the unmarked side to the black "_" terminal. Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm or less of the outer insulation. Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together: Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire. 3. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly. Caution: The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short can occur. Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wired should come in contact with each other. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment. Subwoofer Connect a subwoofer using a commercially-available RCA cable. Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a "powered subwoofer". 7
