Caution:
• Remove the AC power cable of this unit from the power outlet
before connecting the speakers.
• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated
cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a line
running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the different
colored (or lined) cable into the "+" (positive, red) terminal
on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into the "-"
(minus, black) terminal.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this unit.
This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables
short circuit, "CHECK SP WIRES!" will appear on the front panel
display when this unit is switched on.
• This unit is confi gured for 8Ω speakers at the factory setting.

For more information on setting the speaker impedance, refer to
"Changing speaker impedance" in the Owner's Manual.

connection" in the Owner's Manual.
