same ampere rating as that indicated
on the plug.
Check
for the ASTA mark or the
BSI mark on the body of
the
fuse.
If the power cord's plug

Connecting
the Receiver
®Disconnect the power
cord from the
electrical
outlet before
malting
any
connections.
Speaker Connection
Precautions
The
receiver
allows you to
connect two sets of
speakers.
When
two sets
of
speakers are
connected, you can
select
which
speaker set
outputs sound
or
use both sets
to
output sound simultaneously.
(-3
page 19 about
"Speakers A" and "Speakers B")
•
When you connect
one set
of
speakers to either
SPEAKERS
A or
SPEAKERS B terminal
posts, or
when
you connect two sets of speakers
to
both
speaker
terminal
posts and output sound only from
either
speaker set, use speakers
whose impedance is 4 to
16 Q, and set the speaker
impedance
setting
on
the
receiver to 4 or 6 S2
(-3
page 12). When the
impedance
of
the speaker to be used is less
than 6
S2,
set the
speaker impedance to 4 S2.
• When
you connect speakers to both
SPEAKERS A
and
SPEAKERS B terminal posts and output
sound
from both
speaker sets simultaneously, use
speakers
whose
impedance
is
8 to 16
S2.
Set the speaker
impedance setting on the receiver
to
4 S2.
• Read the instructions
supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention
to speaker wiring polarity. In
other
words,
connect positive (+) terminals only to
positive (+)
terminals,
and negative (—) terminals only to
negative (—)
terminals. If you
get them the wrong way around,
the
sound will be out of
phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long
or very thin speaker cables
may
affect the sound
quality an d should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short
the
positive and negative wires.
Doing
so may damage the
receiver.
• Don't
connect more than one
cable to each
speaker
terminal. Doing
so may
damage the receiver.
•
