Refer
to
the
power
amp
owner’s
manual
when

and
impedance
of
4
to
8
ohms.
Connecting
speakers
with
output
and/or
impedance
values
other
than
those
noted
here
can
damage
the
speakers.
When the power amp. is being linked with this system, be
sure not to connect the blue lead to the amp.’s power
terminal. Likewise, when linking this system with the auto-
