CONNECTIONS
(Figure 1)
CONNECTING A TUNER
Connect the output jacks of your stereo tuner to the TUNER jacks of
this amplifier.
CONNECTING A COMPACT DISC PLAYER
Connect the output jacks of your CD player to the CD jacks of this
amplifier.
CONNECTING A TURNTABLE
Connect the L (Left) output cord of the turntable to the “L”PHONO
jack of this amplifier, and the R (Right) output cord to the “R”PHONO
jack. If the turntable has a ground wire, make sure you connect it to
the GND terminal of this amplifier. The GND terminal does not need
to be connected if the turntable does not have a ground wire.
CONNECTING A TAPE DECK
Connect the IN (recording input) jacks of the tape recorder to the
TAPE OUT jack of this amplifier, and the OUT (playback output)
jacks of the tape recorder to the TAPE IN jack.
CONNECTING A PROCESSOR
Connect the IN jacks of the processor to the PROCESSOR OUT
jack of this amplifier, and the OUT jacks of the processor to the
PROCESSOR IN jack. When not used, leave these jacks connected
with the supplied connecting pins.
CONNECTING A SPEAKER SYSTEM
You amplifier has two sets of SPEAKER SYSTEM terminals, which
means you can connect either one or two speaker systems.
NOTE:
Turn the kobes on the speaker terminals by hand. (Do not use a
tool to turn the knobs.)
•Connecting One Speaker System
Note the following points when connecting a single speaker system.
— The impedance of each speaker should be between 8 and 16
ohms. Connecting a speaker with impedance less than 8 ohms
can causes activation of the amplifier’s protection circuitry during play, making normal stereo playback impossible.
— Connect the right channel speaker to the amplifier’s R termi-
nals, and the left channel speaker to the L terminals.
— The output terminals have positive (+: red) and negative (–: black)
polarity. Each speaker must also have the same polarity (+/–).
Be sure to match the polarity of the amplifier with that of the
speakers (+ with +, – with –) when making connections.
•Connecting Two Speaker Systems
Make sure that the impedance of each speaker is at least 16 ohms.
Connecting a speaker with impedance less than 16 ohms can causes
activation of the amplifier’s protection circuitry during play, making
normal stereo playback impossible.
