CP2000—Owner’s Manual
Connecting Speakers
The outputs for each CP2000 channel comprise of one 1/4" phone jack and one pair of
5-way binding posts. The 1/4" phone jacks accept 1/4" phone plugs, while the 5-way
binding posts offer several methods of connection, including single or double banana
plugs, spade lugs, or bare wire.
For optimum performance, use quality
speaker cables with a suitable power rat-
ing.
Phone plugs should be wired as follows.
When connecting to the binding posts, be
sure to connect the speaker cables with the correct polarity, otherwise, the sound qual-
ity will be affected. The plus (+) terminal on the speaker must be connected to the bind-
ing post labelled (+), and the (–) terminal on the speaker must be connected to the
binding post labelled (–).
Caution for Speaker Connection
1
Turn off the POWER switch.
2
Before connecting any speakers, remove the
protective cover by unscrewing the two fixing
screws shown here. Be sure to replace the
cover when you’ve finished making your con-
nections.
3
When attaching bare-ended speaker cables,
strip off about 15 mm of insulation, unscrew
the binding posts, and insert the bare wires
through the holes in the posts, and then
tighten the binding posts. Make sure that none
of the bare wires are splayed in such a way that
they may cause a short.
When attaching speaker cables with spade lugs,
unscrew the binding posts, place the spade lugs on
the posts, and then tighten the binding posts.
4
Reattach the protective cover over the speaker
terminals.

appropriate guidance on handling” make
the connection or to use leads or a cord that have been manufactured in such a way that
the connection can be made simply and without problem.
