When connecting the speaker system for X-HM76, connect the included speaker cables with ends with the red tubing attached to the i jacks on the main unit and the speaker. If connection is wrong, the phase reverses and this makes it harder to output bass. For XC-HM86, use the illustration as a reference to connect your own speakers. After inserting the speaker cables, tighten the terminals firmly by turning to the right. Also make sure the exposed wires of the speakers do not stick out of the speaker terminals when connecting. If the exposed wires of the speakers touch the rear panel or the circuit may be activated and the power may turn off.
