EXTERNAL SPEAKER

The R-5000 has an external speaker jack on the rear panel. This allows the user to

connect another speaker to the receiver for better sounding audio. Note that when this jack is

used the internal speaker is cut off. The internal speaker does not have the best audio quality

so an external speaker is a good addition, especially for listening to shortwave broadcasts. The

original external speaker designed for the R-5000, the SP-430, is discontinued. The usual

replacement is the SP-23 that works but does not match the color or styling of the R-5000.

The DC Power Cable Kit DCK-2 allows the R-5000 to run off 13.8 volts DC at 2 amps. It

consists of a simple cable with connectors at both ends. One connector plugs into connector 5

located near the corner of the AVR board shown in Figure 4. The other connector mounts to the

rear panel. The hole is covered by a metal plate that must be removed first. Included in the kit is

a cable to connect the radio to a cigarette lighter in a vehicle. Technically- inclined users can

probably make their own cable kit, but this option is tough to beat in price (around $15).
