Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about
2/3 inch (10 mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to
the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and
– to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use front speakers with low maximum input
rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive
output on the speakers.
