Connecting to your amplifier Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier is switched off. ■ Connections You need a commercially available speaker cable. y The size and/or material of a speaker cable affects on the sound quality. Therefore, we recommend you to purchase a highquality speaker cable to exert the performance of this unit. Note • Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier and the speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the (-) terminals on both components using the other side of the cable. • Connect the speakers to the left (L) and right (R) terminals of your amplifier, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, -). If one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. • When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the nominal input power of the speaker, care should be taken never to exceed the speaker's maximum input. • The speaker may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously output at high volume level. For example, if sine waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments, etc., are continuously output, or when the stylus of a turntable touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent the speaker from being damaged. • Please refer to the owner's manual that came with your amplifier or receiver. ■ How to connect the speaker cables 15 mm (5/8") Good No Good 1 Remove 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from each end of the cables, and twist the exposed conductors together neatly and tightly, as shown left. 2 Loosen the terminal knob. 3 Insert the bare wire. 4 Tighten the knob and secure the cable. 5 Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the terminal.
