Note
• Press the lever and insert the end of the cable.
• When you release the lever, it clamps
onto the speaker cable.·
Caution
• Be sure to turn the connected devices off and remove the
power cord from the wall outlet beforehand when changing the
connection or installation method.
• If you insert the speaker cable too
far so that the insulation is
touching the speaker terminal, you
may not get any sound. Please
insert it with showing the copper
wire.
• Check if the end of the speaker cables are securely connected
to the terminals by slightly tugging on the cable after making
connections. Loose connections may result in sound dropouts
or noise.
• If there is a short in the  and  cables caused by an exposed
lead wire, excessive load may be applied to the plasma display,
resulting in interrupted operation or malfunction.
• Incorrect connections of the speaker cable to the right or left of
the plasma display terminals with respect to the polarity may
result in insufficient stereo sound effects, delivering poor bass
sounds or unstable sound image.
• Bundle the cable without pulling.
