Connecting Other Components
Carefully connect the plugs to the left and right channel Jacks.
Push the plugs in all the way. Poor setting of the plugs tends
to cause hum or intermittent sound and may damage the
speakers.
NOTE: While you are connecting this unit to the rest of your
high fidelity system, please unplug the power cord, discon-
necting not only this unit but all the components, from the AC
outlet.
Do not interwind the connection wires with the power cord.
If interwound, the sound quality may be degraded.
When
only one turntable
is used, be sure to insert the
attached short-pin plug into the PHONO MM or MC jacks that
are not being used.
Connecting Speakers
Connect the speaker wires carefully to the speaker terminals
on the rear panel so as not to mistake the left and the right
channels or reverse the speaker polarities (+ and -).
Use sufficiently thick wire (18 gauge for short lengths, 16-12
gauge for longer lengths). It is recommended to use color-
coded wire for easy polarity identification. Speaker wires
should be as short as possible, and the left and the right
channel wires should be the same length.
1. Remove about 20 mm (3/4 inch) of insulation from the end
of each wire and twist the strands of each end.

20 mm
2. After making sure of the correct channel and polarity,
loosen the SPEAKER SYSTEM terminal knob and insert
the conductor directly into the recess at the upper-right of
the terminal. Then tighten the terminal knob, and the end
of speaker wire is automatically wound around the termi-
nal.

3. Set the SPEAKER OPERATING MODE switch on the rear
panel to match the impedance of your speakers. Remove
the switch cover by pressing its lugs. If your speakers are
nominally 4 Ohms, set this switch to the 4Q position.
If
your speakers are nominally 8 Ohms, set this switch to the
8 Q position. Reinstall the switch cover in order to prevent
accidental switching.
8 Ohms setting
CAUTION: Two speaker systems can be connected to this
unit. When two speaker systems are connected, care should
be taken that the net impedance does not become less than
8 or 4 Ohms depending on the position of the SPEAKER OP-
ERATING MODE switch.
AC Convenience Receptacles
This unit is provided with two AC convenience receptacles on
the rear panel for supplying power to a tuner, turntable, tape
deck or other low power component. The receptacles have
a power capacity of 180 watts each. Check the component's
owner's manual to find its power requirement.
SWITCHED: The power
to this receptacle is turned on and off
by this unit's power switch.
UNSWITCHED: The power to this receptacle is independent
of this unit's power switch.
NOTE:
In some
countries, these AC convenience
recep-
tacles are not available.
