Getting started

Connecting speakers

Connect your speakers to the amplifier.
Before connecting speakers, make sure that you disconnect the AC
power cord (mains lead).
Use a speaker cord (not supplied) to connect the speaker terminals.

Notes on speaker connections
 Connect the left speaker to the SPEAKER (LEFT) terminals and the
right speaker to the SPEAKER (RIGHT) terminals.
 Be sure to connect the speaker cords between the speakers and the
amplifier with the same polarities (plus (+) to plus (+), minus (–) to
minus (–)). By paying attention to the color or mark of the speaker
cord to be connected to the plus (+) or minus (–) connector, you can
always be sure of connecting the cord correctly without mistaking
plus or minus.
Be careful not to touch the amplifier body or other jacks with the

ends of the speaker cable. Doing so may cause short circuits, etc.,
resulting in a malfunction of the amplifier.

Setting the speaker impedance
 Be sure to turn the power off before setting the SPEAKER
IMPEDANCE switch. When it is on, the switch does not work.
 When you connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or
higher, set the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE switch to "8 Ω." When
connecting other types of speakers, set it to "4 Ω."
 If you are not sure of the impedances of the speakers, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with your speakers. (This information
is often on the back of the speaker.)
