Note
• Do not bundle audio cables and speaker cables together with the
power cord. Doing so may generate noise.
• The PHONO jacks are designed for connecting a turntable with
an MM cartridge.
• Connect your turntable to the GND terminal to reduce noise in
the signal. However, for some turntables, you may hear less
noise without the GND connection.
• On the R-N303D and R-N303 Europe models, to prevent sound
loops, no sound will be outputted from the LINE 3(OUT) jack
while the LINE 3 input is selected. On other models, no sound
will be outputted from the LINE 2(OUT) jack while the LINE 2
input is selected.
Connecting the speakers
CAUTION
Connect the speakers with an impedance as shown below.
If you connect speakers with an excessively low
impedance, this unit may overheat.
■
Connecting speaker cables
a
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of insulation
from the ends of the speaker cable and twist the bare
wires of the cable firmly together.
b
Loosen the speaker terminal.
c
Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the
side (upper right or bottom left) of the terminal.
d
Tighten the terminal.
Note
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.
■
Connecting via banana plug
(North America, Australia,
General models only)
Tighten the knob and then insert the banana plug into the
end of the corresponding terminal.
■
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.
Note
• When making bi-wire connections, remove the shorting bridges
or cables on the speaker. Refer to the speakers’ instruction
manuals for more information.
• To use the bi-wire connections, press SPEAKERS A and
SPEAKERS B (p. 8) so that both speaker indicators (“SP A”
and “SP B”) light up on the front display.
