Connecting speakers
NOTE
0Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the
speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.
0Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker
terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear
panel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 44))
0Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so
could result in electric shock.
0Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.
oConnecting the speaker cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be
sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.
1Peel off about 3/8 inch (10 mm) of sheathing from the
tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire
tightly or terminate it.
.
2
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
.
3Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to all the way into
the speaker terminal.
.

Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, CD players, network audio players and Blu-ray Disc players to this unit.
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.
NOTE
0The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety
grounding purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a
lot of noise, the noise can be reduced. Note that depending on
the turntable, connecting the ground line may have the reverse
effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary to
connect the ground line.
0The PHONO input terminals are equipped with a short pin-plug.
Remove this plug to connect a record player. Store the removed
short pin-plug in a safe place so as not to lose it.
