When using bare wires
Loosen the cap and insert the core wire into the hole in the terminal.
Then, tighten the cap.
When using spade lugs
Loosen the cap and insert the lug between the cap and base of the
terminal. Then, tighten the cap.
o When using a spade lug to connect, use one with an inside diam-
eter of at least 8 mm (3/8").
When using banana plugs
With the cap tightened, insert the plug into the opening in the end
of the terminal.
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.

Notes about the protection circuits

This unit has a DC protection circuit, an overcurrent protection circuit
and an overheating protection circuit built-in.
When a protection circuit is operating, the ring around the POWER
button blinks and one of the following error messages blinks on the
display.
DCout ERR!
The DC protection circuit is active.
Turn the unit off once and wait several minutes before turning it
on again.
OverCURNT!
The overcurrent protection circuit is active.
A short might have occurred with the +/− speaker cables. In this
case, turn the unit off and check the speaker cable connections.
Over TEMP!
The overheating protection circuit is active.
The internal temperature has become high. Turn the unit off and
wait a while for the temperature to decrease. You can also change
the installation conditions to improve ventilation.
o If the overheating protection circuit continues to operate for
30 seconds, the unit will automatically turn itself off. After this,
the POWER button will be disabled for as long as the internal
temperature remains high.
If the indicator continues to blink even after likely causes have been
eliminated, contact the store where you purchased the unit.
