Speaker Connection
Turn off all the components in the system before connecting the speakers.
The amplifier has color-coded binding post type speaker connectors on
the back panel. These connectors accept bare wire, connector lugs, or
dual banana type connectors. (except in European Community countries
where their use is not permitted)
Route the wire from the amplifier to the speakers. Give yourself enough
slack so you can move the components to allow access to the speaker
connectors. If you are using dual banana plugs, connect them to the wires
and then plug into the backs of the binding posts. The thumbscrews of the
binding posts should be screwed in all the way (clockwise).
If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are attaching
bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire conductors
and strip the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be careful not
to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew (turn counterclockwise) the binding
post thumbscrews. Place the connector lug or wire around the binding
post shaft. Turn the thumbscrews clockwise to clamp the connector lug
or wire firmly in place.
NOTE: Be sure there are no loose wire strands that could touch adjacent
wires or connectors.
Phones Output

The Phones output allows you to connect headphones for private listening.
This output accommodates standard stereo phone (1/8") plugs. Plugging
in a set of headphones does not cut off the signal to the outputs. Use the
Speaker Selector to turn off the speakers. The settings of the Function
Selector determines which source is heard.
NOTE: Because the sensitivity of speakers and headphones can
vary widely, always reduce the volume level before connecting or
disconnecting headphones.
