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 red + terminal and the unmarked side to the black _ terminal. Caution: < To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-volume sound, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers. < Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more. < The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or an electrical short could occur. Shorted wires could create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment. How to connect speakers: 1. Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm (1/2 inch) or less of the outer insulation. (Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if the bared wires should come in contact with each other.) Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together. 10 2. Turn the terminal cap counter clockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base. 3. Insert the wire into the terminal and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it: Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal, only the bare, stripped wire. 4. Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly. For European customers In accordance with European safety regulations, it is not possible to connect banana plugs into the speaker terminals on European models. The holes into which banana plugs are inserted have been covered with black caps. Connect the speakers using spades or bare wires. If the black caps become separated from the terminals, return them to their original position. H Subwoofer Connect a commercially available powered subwoofer.
