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 the + and –
markings are observed. If these wires are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Caution
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other and do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and/or speakers.

OUTPUT TERMINALS (FOR DRIVING SPEAKERS WITH EXTERNAL AMPLIFIERS)
(MAIN, CENTER and REAR OUTPUT terminals are provided for U.K. and Europe models only.)
MAIN OUTPUT terminals
These terminals are for the main channel line output. There is
no connection to these terminals when you use the built-in
amplifier.
However, if you drive the main speakers with an external stereo
power amplifier, connect the input terminals of the external
amplifier (MAIN IN or AUX terminals of a power amplifier or an
integrated amplifier) to these terminals.
* Output signals from the MAIN OUTPUT terminals are
affected by the use of BASS, TREBLE, and BALANCE.
Banana plug connections are also possible (except for U.K. and
Europe models). Simply insert the banana plug connector into
the corresponding terminal.
