Connecting the speaker cables
1. Open the lever.
2. Twist wire ends very tight, and insert the
wire.
15 mm
3. Close the lever.
Connecting speakers
• SPEAKER IMPEDANCE: 4 OHMS
MIN/SPEAKERS
Never allow the bare wires in the speaker
cables to touch each other. Do not con-
nect a speaker with a low impedance as
this will cause trouble.
• Connect the red cables to the + terminals
of this unit, and the black cables to the –
terminals of this unit.
• Do not use unnecessarily long or ex-
tremely thin speaker cables . If the DC
resistance of the speaker cables is too
high, the damping factor will decrease,
adversely affecting the sound quality.
• When using only one speaker or when
you wish to listen to monaural (mono),
the single speaker should never be con-
nected in parallel to both the right and left
channel terminals at the same time.
NO
Note:
To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit the positive (+)
and negative (–) speaker wires.
Connecting the power
• Before plugging in the unit, confirm that
all connections have been made properly.
• Before turning on the power, be sure that
the VOLUME knob is fully turned
counterclockwise.
• Turning on this unit’s power may cause a
momentary power surge, which might
interfere with other electrical equipment,
such as computers. If so, use a wall outlet
on a different circuit.
Plugging the CR-185X’s power cord into an
AC outlet puts the unit in stand-by status (the
time flashes in the display). Pressing the
SYSTEM switch turns on the unit and lights
up the display. If this switch is pressed again,
the unit returns to the stand-by status.
The POWER button on the remote control is
used in the same way as the SYSTEM switch
on the CR-185X.
