How to Connect:

Connect the SPEAKERS terminals to your speakers with wire
of the proper gauge, cut as short as possible.  If the
connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the
speakers.  Make sure that the polarity of the speaker wires is
correct, that is, + and – markings are observed.  If these wires
are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and will lack bass.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do
not let them touch the metal parts of this unit as this could
damage this unit and/or speakers.

Note
Use speakers with the specified impedance shown on the rear
of this unit.

For connecting to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals

Red: positive (+)
Black: negative (–)

Unscrew the knob.

Insert the bare wire.
[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.] 

Tighten the knob and
secure the wire.

[Remove approx. 5mm
(1/4”) insulation from
the speaker wires.]
