Connections
Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier
Before connecting—
• Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the speaker system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
• The impedance of each speaker is 6 Ω. Before connecting them to your amplifier, check the speaker impedance range of your amplifier. If the impedance of this
speaker is out of the speaker impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you cannot connect this system to the amplifier.
• The maximum power handling capacity of the speakers are 100 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage.
• Be sure to turn down the volume level to prevent unwanted noise before performing following operations:
– Turning on or off other components,
– Operating the amplifier,
– Tuning FM stations,
– Fast-forwarding a tape,
– Continuously reproducing high frequency oscillation or high pitch electronic sounds.
or
• When using a microphone, do not aim it at the speakers or use it near the speakers; otherwise, the howling which occurs may damage the speakers.
• Before replacing the cartridge, always turn off the power to the turntable; otherwise, the clicking noise may damage the speakers.
