Caution
•
Use speakers with nominal impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω.
•
Connect accurately the + and – terminals between the speakers
and this product.
•
Do not allow unshielded center wire from the terminals to stick
out and make contact with each other. If the center wires touch
the device may break.
•
Use sufficient current capacity speaker cord and be sure to
make connections that are not loose and do not short. Using
low current capacity connecting cords or making imperfect
connections may affect playback audio and can cause
overheating or short circuits.
•
High voltage is output from the speaker terminals. To avoid the
danger of electrical shock, be sure to unplug the power cord
before making speaker connections.

The balanced output signal level of the source device (CD
player, DA converter, etc.) may be significantly larger than the
RCA unbalanced output, depending on the device. For this
reason, the signal level of balanced input on the product is
dropped approximately 3 dB lower than the RCA unbalanced
input. Depending on the connected device, playback may
occur at a volume lower than a device with an RCA unbalanced
connection, but this is normal and not a malfunction.
