tion of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE
SELECTOR.

Connecting the speaker^^
cables
1. Open the lever.
2. Twist wire ends very tight, and insert
the wire.
3. Close the lever.
Before mtiking any connections, plea.se refer
to the e.xplanation of "Speaker impedance".
Connecting the speakers ^ i j
You can connect two separtite pairs of
spctiker systems.
Plea.se connect each speaker according to
the illustration, observing the correct con¬
nections for R, L, + and -.
• Di> not use unnece.ssarily lotig or
extremely thin speaker leads. If the DC
resistance of the speaker leads is too
high, the d,amping factor will decrease,
adversely affecting the sound quality.
• When using only one speaker or when
you wish to listen to monaural (mono),
the single speaker should never be con¬
nected in parallel to both the right and
left channel terminals at the same lime.
