power

capacity

of

200

watts.

The

careful

ly

to

the

speaker

terminals

on

the

rear

panel

so

as

not

to

mistake

the

left

and

the

right

channels

or

reverse

the

speaker

polarities

(+

and

—).

Use

sufficiently

thick

wire

(18

gauge

for

short

lengths,

16-12

gauge

for

longer

lengths).

It

is

recommended

to

use

color

-coded

wire

for

easy

polarity

identification.

Speaker

wires

should

be

as

short

as

possible,

and

the

left

and

the

right

channel

wires

should

be

the

same

length.

Remove

about

3/4

inch

(20

mm)

of

insulation

from

the

end

of

CAUTION:

Two

speaker

systems

can

be

connected

to

this

unit.

The

minimum

speaker

impedance

should

be

4

Ohm

when

only

one

speaker

system

is

connected.

When

two

speaker

systems

are

connected,

care

should

be

taken

that

net

impedance

does

not

become

less

than

4

Ohm.
