© CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Connect the cords for the left speakers to the L ter-
minals and connect the right speaker cords to the
R terminals. Ensure that the polarity (+ and —)
markings are observed.
Be sure to do this consist-
ently between components.
If the polarity is re-
versed at either speaker the sound wili be unnatural
and lack bass. Speaker cords should be cut as short
as possible. Avoid coiling the wire on the floor or
bundling it up with cords from other system com-
ponents.
Strip about 10mm (0.39in) of insulating material from
the ends of the speaker wires and twist the exposed
strands of each end. Push in on the terminal lever,
insert the exposed wire and then pull the lever for-
ward to lock the wire into position.

Red is +, black is —.
Make the speaker cords as short as possible,
|
and the same length for the two channels.
© CONNECTING A TURNTABLE
Connect the output cords of the turntable to the
PHONO jacks and connect the ground wire to the
GND terminal. Normally connecting the ground wire
produces minimum hum but in some cases better
results are obtained with the ground wire discon-
nected. The turntable component and its output
cords should be positioned well away from sources
of hum such as power cords or power transformers
of other system components.
© CONNECTING A TAPE DECK
Connect the cords from the tape deck's Line In jacks
to the Rec Out jacks, ensuring that the left and right
are not reversed. Then connect the cords from the
tape deck's Line Out jacks to the Tape PB jacks.
@ CONNECTING TO THE CD AND VIDEO/AUX
JACKS
Connect your CD component to the CD terminals and
video component to the VIDEO/AUX terminals.
Please note that a turntable can not be connected
to these jacks as they do not provide the necessary
RIAA equalization.
© AC OUTLETS (General and Canadian models)
For added convenience the RX-300/U provides 2 AC
outlets. One "switched" outlet (the power to this
outlet is controlled by this unit's power switch) and
one "unswitched" outlet (the power to this is inde-
pendent of this unit's power switch). Be sure not to
connect appliances totaling more than 200 watts to
the unswitched outlet or more than 100 watts to the
switched outlet.
© GROUNDING
For added safety and reduced interference,
grounding is recommended.
Be sure not to connect
ground wire to a water or gas pipe as this may result
in electric shock or fire.
e ABOUT THE FREQUENCY STEP SWITCH
(General Model)
Areas other than the United States, Canada and
Europe, because interstation frequency spacing is
different in different areas, please set rear panel
FREQUENCY STEP switch to agree with the station
spacing in your area (50 kHz FM/9 kHz AM or 100
kHz FM/10 kHz AM).
