Detaching and attaching the speakers
The speakers can be detached from the main unit and located in a preferred location.
Before detaching or attaching the speakers, or changing the speaker cables, shut power OFF and unplug the power cord from the
wall AC outlet. If there is a disc in the player, eject it first, too. Also, using the main unit with only one speaker attached makes the
unit unbalanced. Shocks and vibrations can cause it to topple over. Use caution when attaching and detaching the speakers.
Detaching the speakers Attaching the speakers
Free the speaker cable from the hook on the
rear panel.
Push the speaker from the rear in the direction
of the arrow.
Be careful not to drop the speaker.
Detach the speaker from the main unit.
Align the recesses on the speaker with the pro-
jections on the main unit.
Use the bottom recess on the rear of both
the left and right speakers.
Push the speaker from the front in the direction
of the arrow.
Positioning the speakers
Lay the speaker on the side that was attached to the
main unit. That side has antislip stoppers.
Side that was attached

Changing the speaker cables
If too short for reaching the speakers in their position detached from the main unit, the speaker cables
can be changed with compatible commercially available cables (AWG24 ~ 18 [wire diameter: 0.511 ~
1.024 mm]). Peel off about 1 cm of the vinyl sheathing and twist the end of the wire so that it does not
fray.

jack on the main unit until hearing it click.
Hold the projected part of the speaker con-
nector firmly against a desktop and insert the

•Frayed wires stuck out from the connec-
tor can cause a short-circuit. Twist the
wires tight before inserting them into the
connector.
•Once the wires are inserted, hold the con-
nector and gently tug on the wires to
make sure they do not come out.
•Do not short-circuit the + and – speaker wires.
•If wires are connected with the polarity (+ and -) backwards, the location of instruments is unclear and the produced
