CONNECTIONS
■
OUT jacks
• The OUT jacks output audio signals of the currently
selected input (except when LINE 3 is selected).
• Volume level, tone control and balance settings do not
affect the OUT jacks.
■
Connecting speaker cables
When inserting speaker cables into the speaker terminals, insert
only the bare speaker wire. If insulated cable is inserted, the
connection may be poor and sound may not be heard.
Connect the speakers with an impedance as shown below.
If you connect speakers with an excessively low
impedance, this unit may overheat.
■
Bi-wire connection
Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the
combined midrange and tweeter section.
A bi-wire compatible speaker has four binding post
terminals. These two sets of terminals allow the speaker to
be split into two independent sections. With these
connections, the mid and high frequency drivers are
connected to one set of terminals and the low frequency
driver to another set of terminals.
Connect the other speaker to the other set of terminals in
the same way.
When making bi-wire connections, remove the shorting bridges
or cables on the speaker.
y
To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A and
SPEAKERS B so that both SP A and B light up on the front panel
display.
