Before connecting your amplifier all components in the system must be unplugged
at the mains and the volume control of the amplifier set at zero.
Connecting Signal Inputs
Virtually any line level audio source component may be connected to the signal inputs.
These include tuners, CD players etc. The inputs are all electrically identical and are named
purely for ease of recognition.
Connect a pair of high quality screened cables terminated in RCA phono plugs from the
LINE OUTPUT of the source component to the chosen input of the amplifier.
When making stereo connections, RCA plugs and sockets coded white or black usually
indicate the LEFT channel and those coded red the RIGHT channel. In a stereo pair of
sockets the upper socket is usually the Left Channel and the lower socket the Right. If you
are in any doubt, consult a qualified dealer.
How to Connect a Loudspeaker Terminal
Strip any outer sleeve from the loudspeaker cable
to a depth of around 40 mm (1.5”).Strip the top
7mm of sleeving to expose the bare wire. If you are
using stranded cable, lightly twist the strands to
gather any loose ends.
Partially unscrew the terminal to expose the cross
hole at the terminal base. Push the bare end of the
cable into the hole. Ensure that the polarity is
correct and there are no loose strands which
could touch adjacent terminals. Tighten secure
ly.
