Caution:
• Remove the AC power cord of this unit from the power outlet
before connecting the speakers.
• Generally speaker cables consist of two parallel insulated
cables. One of these cables is a different color, or has a
line running along it, to indicate different polarity. Insert the
different colored (or lined) cable into the “+” (positive, red)
terminal on this unit and the speakers, and the other cable into
the “-” (minus, black) terminal.
• Be careful that the core of the speaker cable does not touch
anything or come into contact with the metal areas of this
unit. This may damage this unit or the speakers. If the speaker
cables short circuit, “CHECK SP WIRES!” will appear on the
front panel display when this unit is switched on.
• When connecting 6Ω speakers, set the speaker impedance to
6Ω on this unit before making connections. Refer to Owner’s
Manual for information on settings.
