CONNECTOR INFORMATION
Either banana plug or insert type can be used to connect the
unit to speakers. Be sure to connect red (+) to red (+) and
black (–) to black (–). Otherwise, the sound output would be
180° out of phase and distorted.
Follow these steps if you are inserting the wire directly into
the speaker terminal.
1. Strip off the vinyl covering and twist the tip of the
wire core.
2. Loosen the knob and insert the wire core into the
terminal hole.
3. Tighten the knob to fix the wire core in place.
Do not allow the wire core to protrude or touch other
terminals or wires.
If the cores of differing wires touch, damage may result to
your components.
