Connecting the speaker cables
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing from
the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the
core wire tightly or terminate it.
NOTE
• Connect so that the speaker cable core wires
do not protrude from the speaker terminal.
The protection circuit may be activated if the
core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and –
sides touch each other (vpage 10 "Protection
circuit").
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the
power supply is connected. Doing so could
result in electric shock.
• Use speakers with impedance of 6 to 8 Ω.
