Solderless Terminal Connections; Connecting The Speaker Output Terminals - Pioneer PRS-A900 Mode D'emploi

Solderless Terminal Connections

• Do not connect a cord having an exposed core
wire to the power terminals of this amplifier
(Power terminal, GND terminal, System remote
control terminal). Disconnection or breakage of
the core wire can cause a fire or short-circuit.
• Since the wire will become loose over time, it
must be periodically inspected and tightened as
necessary.
• Do not solder or bind the ends of the twisted wires.
• Fasten while making sure to not to clamp the
insulating sheath of the wire.
• Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to tighten and
loosen the terminal screw of the amplifier.
Securely fasten the wire with the terminal screw.
However, since excessively tightening the terminal
screw of the System remote control has the risk of
damaging the wire, be careful not to tighten exces-
sively by observing the status of the wire when
tightening.
Connecting the Speaker Output
Terminals
Use a 12 AWG to 18 AWG wire for the speaker wire.
1. Expose the end of the speaker wires
using nippers or a cutter by about
14 mm to 16 mm (1/2 in. to 5/8 in.).
14 mm to 16 mm (1/2 in. to 5/8 in.)
2. Connect the speaker wires to the
speaker output terminals.
• Fix the speaker wires securely with the termi-
nal screws.

3. Put the wire ties in the slits and wrap
the wire ties around the wires.
• Make sure the wires are connected and
attached properly before wrapping the wire
ties around the wires.
• Wrap the wire tie around the wire insulation,
not the stripped wire.
• Cut off any excess portions of the wire ties.
