We know you are keen to get your 60i working. This section will
have you listening to your favourite music as quickly as possible.

.

Make sure that all the components of your audio system are
disconnected from the AC supply whenever you change any
connections.

On the back of your 60i, you will find two pairs of loudspeaker
terminals, each pair consisting of one red and one black.
The terminals on the back of the 60i use BFA

sockets. The BFA

plug pushes into the middle of the terminal.

You will need a source of audio signals (such as our CD player
CD20R or our tuner T20) to feed into your 60i. Use a good-
quality, screened phono-phono audio cable to connect the phono
output sockets of your sound source to the appropriate pair of

bold

print indicates the

lettering that you will find on the panels of your 60i

2. In models for countries where the AC supply is 115 V, the terminals accept 4 mm

‘banana‘ plugs instead of BFA plugs. 4 mm plugs are not permitted in Europe.
Please see page 18 for more details of the terminals

3. If you prefer to use a cable which does not have BFA plugs, please see page 19

4. If your loudspeaker terminals are not colour coded – red corresponds to positive

(+) or signal and black corresponds to negative (-)
