Connecting the speakers

Make sure you connect the speaker on the
right to the right terminal and the speaker on
the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the
positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the
receiver match those on the speakers. You can
use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 4 Ω to 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.
