Connecting Speakers - Teac NR-7CD Owner's Manual

Notes about speaker cables
o Use commercially-available speaker cables to connect the
speakers.
o Use the shortest speaker cables possible. The longer the cable,
the greater the resistance value and the more that damping
performance is reduced. Moreover, length also increases imped-
ance and capacitance, degrading the sound quality of high
frequencies.
o Use left and right speaker cables that have the same length.
How to connect speaker cables
Use commercially-available speaker cables to connect the ¥
terminal of the unit to the ¥ terminal of the speaker and the ^
terminal of the unit to the ^ terminal of the speaker.
o Use speakers with at least 4Ω impedance.
o If the exposed tip of the core wire of a speaker cable contacts
another cord or terminal, a short could occur.
Never allow a speaker cable to short.
o Do not connect more than one amplifier to a speaker.
o Do not bundle speaker cables with power cords. Doing so could
cause noise.

The power plug should always be disconnected
when connecting speaker cables.

Connecting speakers

When using bare wires
Loosen the cap and insert the core wire into the hole in the termi-
nal. Then, tighten the cap.
When using spade lugs
Loosen the cap and insert the lug between the cap and base of the
terminal. Then, tighten the cap.
o When using a spade lug to connect, use one with an inside
diameter of at least 8 mm (3/8").
When using banana plugs
With the cap tightened, insert the plug into the opening in the end
of the terminal.
o Carefully read the instructions for the banana plugs that you are
using.
Notice about the European model
In accordance with European safety regulations, connecting
banana plugs to speaker terminals is not allowed on European
models.
The holes into which banana plugs could be inserted have been
covered with black caps.
Connect speakers using bare wires or spade lugs.
If a black cap should become separated from its terminal, return
it to its original position.
