Note
• Make sure that the wires do not touch metal parts on the back panel or elsewhere.
• Y plugs cannot be connected.
• Two sets of speakers (Speakers A and Speakers B) can be connected to the integrated amplifier. You can
select which speakers to output audio to when listening to music.
You can also output audio from both sets of speakers.
• If you use Speakers A or Speakers B, make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 ohms. If
you use Speakers A and Speakers B, make sure to use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 ohms.
Connecting speakers with an impedance less than 8 ohms may cause the protection circuit to activate.
• Don't connect more than one speaker wire to a single speaker terminal. Doing so could damage the
integrated amplifier or cause it to malfunction.
• When using only one speaker, or when playing back monaural audio, don't connect a single speaker to
both the left and right speaker terminals.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the
wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will feel unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the integrated amplifier.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the integrated amplifier's rear panel.
Doing so may damage the integrated amplifier.
