Speaker system connections
• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that
like polarities are matched ( < with < , > with > ). Mismatching of
polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of
the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo
being impaired.
• When making connections, take care that none of the individual
conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent
terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear
panel.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
• Precautions when connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near a TV or video
monitor, the colors on the screen may be
disturbed by the speaker's magnetism. If
this should happen, move the speaker
away to a position where it does not have
this effect.

Speaker Impedance
• When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with
an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as
speakers.
• Be careful when using two pairs of speakers (A + B) at the same
time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long
periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an
impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected.
