Connections—Continued

Connecting Speakers

• Connect the right speaker to the CD/HDD receiver's right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the
left (L) SPEAKERS terminals.
• Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the CD/HDD receiver.
Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the CD/HDD
receiver. Use the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.
• Up to two speakers can be connected to the CD/HDD receiver.
Right speaker
Red wires
• Connect only speakers with an impedance of between
4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower
impedance may damage the speaker.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the CD/HDD receiver. Also, be
careful not to touch the rear panel.
• Twist the speaker cord sufficiently.
The contact between bare wire and rear panel may
cause a short circuit.

—Terminal posts—
Strip about 15 mm of insulation from the ends of the speaker
cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Unscrew the terminal.
Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it's touching the
threaded shaft in the center. Screw the terminal tight.
• Be careful not to confuse the positive and negative ter-
minals, or L and R speakers during the connection.
Doing so may result in unnatural sound.
• Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R
terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two
speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).
