V Precautions when making connections
o After all connections are complete, connect the power
cord's plug to the AC wall outlet.
o Read the instructions of each device that you intend to
use with this unit.
CAUTION
o When not connecting LS-101HR speakers, use speakers
with 4–8Ω nominal impedance. If speakers with different
impedance ratings are used, the protection circuit could
operate, causing sound output to stop.
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 The metal portions of the two separate wires should
not touch. If they touch an electrical short might occur.
Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or cause equip-
ment failure.
Never allow speaker cables to cause a short.
o Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and
noise, avoid bundling the cables together with the AC
power cord or other cables.

Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to
loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot
be fully removed from the unit.
Insert the wire into the terminal and turn the
terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it.
o Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the
terminal and only the bare, stripped wire is touching
the terminal.
Confirm that the cable is fastened securely
by gently pulling the cable.
