Precautions when making connections
o After completing all other connections, insert the power plug
into a power outlet .
o Carefully read the manuals of the devices that you are connect-
ing and follow their instructions when making connections .
ATTENTION
o This unit is compatible with speakers that have 4–8Ω nominal
impedance . If speakers with impedance of less than 4 Ω are used,
the protection circuit could operate, causing sound output to
stop . In some cases, this unit or the speakers could be damaged .
o The red speaker terminals are positive (¥) and the black
speaker terminals are negative (^) . Generally, the ¥ wire of the
speaker cable is marked to distinguish it from the ^ wire of the
cable . Connect the marked wire to the red ¥ terminal and the
unmarked wire to the black ^ terminal .
o If the exposed core wires at the tips of the speaker cables should
touch other cables or terminals, an electrical short might occur .
o Never allow speaker cables to cause a short .
o To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the cables together
with the AC power cord or other cables .

and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely
connect it.
o Connect it so that none of the wire insulation is touching
the terminal .
4

tly pulling the cable.
Connecting with banana plugs
You can also make connections using commercially-available
banana plugs . First, connect the banana plugs to the speaker cables
and then connect the plugs to the terminals .
o Keep the caps tightened when in use .
o Carefully read the instructions for the banana plugs that you are
using .
Notice about the European model
In accordance with European safety regulations, connecting
banana plugs to speaker terminals is not allowed on European
models . The holes into which banana plugs could be inserted
have been covered with black caps . Connect speakers using
bare wires or spade lugs . If a black cap should become separated
from its terminal, return it to its original position .
