result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cables, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are
dangerous. They may result in electric shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine
the power cable - if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated receptacles
have it replaced by your service technician.

it distinguishable from the – side of the cable.
Connect this marked side to the red + terminals and
the unmarked side is the black terminal.

- Prepare the speaker cords for connection by
stripping off approximately 10 mm or less (no more
as this could cause a short-circuit) of the outer
insulation.

- Twist the wires tightly together so that they are not
straggly.
