About Connections

• Before making any connections, read the manuals
supplied with your other components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed
and double-checked all connections.
• Push plugs in all the way to make
good connections (loose
connections can cause noise or
malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep
audio cables away from power
cords and speaker cables.

• 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 receiver.
• 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).
