■ Before connecting to the SPEAKERS
terminal
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges.
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the "+" (red)
terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the "–" (black) terminals.
