CONNECTIONS
(Fig. 1)
The amplifier is provided with two sets of SPEAK-
ERS
output terminals.
Use the A set when con-
necting only one set of speakers. Viewed from the
front, the R (right channel) SPEAKERS terminals
are on the right and the L (left channel) SPEAK-
ERS terminals are on the left. Connect the left
channel speaker to the L terminals and the right
channel speaker to the R terminals. The red L and
R SPEAKERS
terminals have a plus polarity and
the black terminals have a minus polarity and the
speaker systems have also the same dual polarities.
When connecting, always connect minus to minus
and plus to plus.
Cautions when connecting the speakers
1. The
speaker
output terminals have polarities:
minus (black) and plus (red). The input jacks on
the speakers also have plus and minus polarities.
When connecting, make sure that these polarities
are aligned: plus to plus and minus to minus. If
the left and right speaker
polarities are mis-
aligned, the reproduced sound will not display a
natural stereo effect.
2. Use speakers with a nominal impedance ranging
from 4 ohms to 16 ohms.
3. Never use the speakers with the speaker output
terminals
shorted
(minus
and plus jacks con-
nected) since this may damage the power transis-
tors in the amplifier.
Processing and connecting the speaker cords
(Fig. 2)
1. Cut off the covering of the speaker cords as
shown in Fig. 2- @.
2. If the strands at the tip of the cord are pointing
in all directions,
twist them
with your thumb
and forefinger. Otherwise
some of the strands
may come into contact with other terminals and
cords, and cause a short.
3. Push down
on the buttons under the terminals
with the tip of your finger, and slip the tip of
the cord into the hole in the center of the
terminal.
Make
sure
that the lead wire in the
cord does not protrude.
4. Remove
your fingertip from the button.
The
- terminal
will
snap
back
into
position
and so
check that the cord is securely connected.
You
may
not hear any
sound
if the cords are not
connected properly.
