Speaker system connection
Before connecting
@ Check the impedance of your speaker system.
For European models
When using one pair of speaker systems
Connect speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 ohms.
When using two pairs of speaker systems at the
same time
Connect speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 ohms.
For other models
When using one pair of speaker systems
Connect speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 ohms.
When using two pairs of speaker systems at the
same time
Connect speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 ohms.
@ The amplifier's red speaker terminals are the @ (plus)
terminals and the black terminals are the © (minus)
terminals.

@ The @ side of the speaker cable is marked to make it
distinguishable from the © side of the cable. Connect
this marked side to the red (@) terminal and the un-
marked side to the black (©) terminal.
@ Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping
off approximately 1 cm or tess (no more as this can
cause short circuits) of the outer insulation.
How to connect
The A terminals correspond to the A position of the
SPEAKER switch and the B terminals correspond to the B
position.
@ Twist the wires together tightly.
@ Turn the terminal cap counter-clock wise to loosen it.
The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed
from the base. .
® Insert the wire into the connection hole and turn the
terminal clock-wise to securely connect it.
