Connecting Your Speakers Right Left Speakers Note • Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals only to negative (-) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will feel unnatural. • Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the power amplifier. • Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the power amplifier's rear panel. Doing so may damage the power amplifier. ■ Screw-type speaker terminals Strip 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown. 1/2" to 5/8" (12 to 15 mm) • Don't connect more than one speaker wire to a single speaker terminal. Doing so could damage the power amplifier or cause it to malfunction. ■ Banana Plugs • If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug. • Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal. Connecting the Power Cord Tip • To reduce noise, do not tie signal cables together with the power cable. Wire them so that they are away from each other. • Depending on the country, the power amplifier may be polaritysensitive. In this case, plug the power cord in a way that provides the best sound quality. Note • Turning on the power amplifier may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the power amplifier into a different branch circuit. 1 Connect all of your speakers and components. 2 Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet. En 8
