Speaker cables typically consist of two insulated
conductors. To ensure that the speakers are connected with
the correct polarity (+/-), the insulation on one of the
conductors is a different color or is marked with a line.

1. Strip about 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from
the ends of the speaker cables.
2. Twist the bare wires tightly to prevent a
short circuit.
3. Unscrew the SPEAKER terminals.
4. Insert the twisted bare wires into the holes
on the SPEAKER terminals.
5. Screw the SPEAKER terminals tight.
Caution
When inserting the stripped ends of the speaker
wires as shown above, make sure at least 1/16
inch (1.6 mm) of insulation is inside the wire
holders (i.e no exposed wire is visible) and no
loose conductor wire strands are protruding
after connection. If wires touch each other or
they touch the metal parts of this unit, this unit
and/or speakers could be damaged. To prevent
speaker wire from coming loose, make sure wire
holder are firmly screwed in.
When using banana plugs, tighten the terminal knob
and insert the plug into the end of the terminal.
