CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKERS
You can connect one loudspeaker the usual way (via a two-core speaker cable) to the power amplifier
SP-996. For this loudspeaker the unit provides two speaker connectors (1x positive + and 1x negative –).
One end of a conventional loudspeaker cable must be connected to this connector pair. At the loudspea-
ker connection terminal there are similar connector screws or connectors. There, the polarity of each screw
(+ or –) can be identified as well and the other side of the speaker cable associated with this loudspea-
ker must be attached. Make sure only connector screws of the same polarity will be connected by each
speaker cable wire: a knob marked "+" in the amplifier's terminal must be connected with a speaker's
connector screw marked "+" as well. SP-996 can only process the signal of one individual channel, for
additional channel(s) (mostly L or R, but sometimes CENTER etc.) additional main amplifiers are needed.

If you own loudspeakers that are equipped with Bi-Wiring terminals (four connector screws) you have to
make sure that the metal brackets (contact pieces consisting of small metal plates or short pieces of cable
which are supplied with the speakers) are applied to the terminal and that each one connects the two
knobs of the same polarity (e. g. both connectors marked "+"). The connector screw labelled "+" at the
amplifier's backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "+" connectors of the loudspea-
ker. Accordingly, the connector screw labelled "–" at the amplifier's backside must be connected to one
of the bridged, labelled "–" connectors of the loudspeaker.
If you are using ready made loudspeaker cables with 4 mm banana plugs, all you need to do is connect the
two plugs on each loudspeaker cable end to the two associated speaker connectors. At first installation after
unpacking the main amplifier it is necessary to remove the small plastic security plugs from the speaker con-
nector holes (completely remove the connector screw, remove the plug and refit the screw again). Turn all con-
nector screws clockwise to fasten them.
