• To prepare the cable for attachment to a Euroblock connector,
strip the wire as shown in the illustration using stranded wire
to make connections. With a Euroblock connection, stranded
wires may be prone to breakage because of metal fatigue due
to the weight of the cable or due to vibration. When rack
mounting your device, use a lacing bar when possible to
bundle and fasten the cables.
• Do not tin (solder) the exposed end.

and commercially-available speaker cables, and set the
NORMAL/BRIDGE switch to "BRIDGE".
Note
Unplug the unit's power cord from the AC wall outlet before
changing the NORMAL/BRIDGE switch setting.

Connecting external devices

For an external device with analog stereo audio output
Use a commercially-available analog stereo pin cable (stereo
audio RCA cable). You can also use supplied jumper plugs and
monaural RCA cables for various sound system configurations.
Note
For details on the configurations with supplied jumper plugs and
monaural RCA cables, see the following:
• "Connection examples" (p.9)
For a remote control device
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
For connecting to an infrared signal receiver/emitter that allows
you to operate the unit and other devices from another room.
For a device compatible with the trigger function
Use a commercially-available 3.5 mm monaural mini-plug cable.
The trigger function can be controlled by external devices (such
as XDA-QS5400) in conjunction with powering on/off the device.

Connecting the power cord

After all the connections are complete, plug the supplied power
cord into the AC IN jack on the rear panel, and then plug the
power cord to an AC wall outlet.
