Instructions on how to connect speakers

Cut and remove the plastic coating from the end of the
speaker cable, twist the core and connect it to the terminal.
Be sure to make correct connection between the unit's
jacks and speaker's jacks (+ to + and - to -) for each
channel. If connection is wrong, a bass sound may become
poor due to reverse phase. The subwoofer jack supports
connection of a subwoofer with built-in power amplifier.
Set the cut-off filter selection switch of the subwoofer to
DIRECT. If the subwoofer does not have a cut-off filter
selection switch but has a cut-off frequency adjusting dial,
turn it to the maximum frequency. If your subwoofer does
not have built-in power amplifier, you can connect a power
amplifier between the unit and the subwoofer.
● The speaker setting is 5.1 ch at the time of purchase.
Change the setting when you use a configuration other
than 5.1 ch.
● Short-circuiting the + cable and - cable or contacting
the cable core to the rear panel of the unit may cause
failure. Also do not connect two or more cables to one
speaker terminal or one speaker to several terminals.

When using commercially available banana plugs:
tighten the speaker terminals to the end and then insert
the banana plugs. Do not insert the core of speaker cable
