CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire of the proper gauge (cut as short as possible). If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is correct, that is, + and – markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or the metal parts of this unit as this could damage this unit and/or speakers.

How to Connect:

Red: positive (+) Black: negative (–)

1 Unscrew the knob. 2 Insert the bare wire.

[Remove approx. 5mm (1/ 4”) insulation from the speaker wires.]

3 Tighten the knob and

secure the wire.
