Speaker connection

NOTE
• Disconnect this unit's power plug from the power outlet before connecting the
speakers.
• Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker
terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear
panel or if the + and – sides touch each other (vpage 34 "Protection circuit").
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected.
• Use speakers with impedances within the ranges shown below to suit how they
are used.

connect the channels and polarities correctly.
