Speaker System Hookups

Overview
Here you learn how to connect speakers to the
amplifier. You can connect two pairs of speakers,
SPEAKERS MAIN and SPEAKERS BI-WIRE.

What cords will I need?
Speaker cord (not supplied)(1 for each speaker)
(+)
(–)
Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 2/3 inch (15mm).
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.

Connecting to bi-wire system speakers
Since the two pairs of speaker terminals on your
amplifier, SPEAKERS MAIN and SPEAKERS BI-WIRE,
provide simultaneous speaker output, you can use
them to connect a bi-wire speaker system.
Note
Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 to 16 ohms.

Mains Lead Hookups

Connect the mains lead to this amplifier and then
connect this amplifier and the various audio
components to a wall outlet.
Note
Separate the mains lead, audio connecting cords and speaker
cords. Noise or sound deterioration may occur when audio
connecting cords are in contact with the mains lead, or when
the mains lead or speaker cords are placed near the tuner's
loop aerial or aerial wire.
