Speaker Connections
CAUTION:
<
Switch off the power to all equipment before making
connections.
< Read the instructions of each component you intend to use
with this unit.
< Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and
noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables
together with the AC power cord or speaker cables.
Note:
<
The black speaker terminals are – (negative).
Generally, the + side of the speaker cable is marked to make
it distinguishable from the – side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the + terminal and the unmarked side to the
black – terminal.
<
The metal portions of the two separate wires should not
touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can
create a fire hazard or induce a failure in your equipment.
<
Ideally, left and right speaker cables should be the same
length. And the length of cables should be as short as
possible for better sound quality.
Connection using
speaker cables with
spades or bare wire
1.Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The
speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base.
2.Insert the wire or spade into the terminal and turn the
terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it:
Make sure none of the wire insulation is under the terminal,
only the bare, stripped wire.
3.Make sure it is fastened firmly by pulling the cable lightly.

Connection using speaker cables with
banana plugs
Tighten the terminal cap and insert a banana plug.
<
The inside diameter of spades should be 8 mm or more.
When your speaker cable has bare wire at the end
Prepare the speaker cables for connection by stripping off
approximately 10 mm (1/2”) or less of the outer insulation.
(Removing too much insulation may lead to a short circuit if
the bared wired should come in contact with each other.)
Twist the strands of the stripped wires tightly together.
The thickness of wires should be less than 4 mm (1/8”).
