Connections

2

Connect the AM loop antenna.

After attaching the antenna, turn on the system and tune in
a broadcast station. Put the antenna where the reception
is best and interference is minimal.

3

Connect the speaker cables.

Connect the speaker cords without tags to the black
terminals, so (+) and (–) are correct.
Connect the speaker cords with red tags to the red
terminals, so (+) and (–) are correct.
Never allow the exposed wires to contact each other when
connected.

Incorrect connection can damage the unit.

Caution

Use only the supplied speakers.

The combination of the main unit and speakers provide the
best sound. Using other speakers can damage the unit and
sound quality will be negatively affected.

Caution
• Use the speakers only with the recommended

system.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier
and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of
fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has
occurred or if you experience a sudden change in
performance.

• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
