Connecting The Speakers - Pioneer A-A9MK2-K Manual De Instrucciones

02 Connecting up
1 Connect the analog audio outputs of your
CD player (or other component) to the CD
inputs on this amplifier.
Use a stereo RCA phono cable as shown.
• Connect any other components (such as
1
an iPod dock or a portable audio player) to
the AUX and TUNER inputs in the same
way.
2 Connect the analog outputs of your tape
deck (or other recorder) to the TAPE inputs
(IN) on this amplifier. Then connect the audio
inputs on the tape deck to the TAPE outputs
(OUT) on this amplifier.
This will allow you to make recordings from the
components connected to this amplifier. Use
stereo RCA phono cables as shown.
3 Turntables only: Connect the audio
outputs of your turntable to the PHONO
inputs on this amplifier.
• If your turntable has a grounding wire,
secure it to the ground terminal on this
amplifier.
• If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e.,
it has a built-in phono pre-amp), connect it
to the AUX inputs instead.
• Make sure the MM/MC switch is in the
proper position. If the sound of the
turntable seems loud and distorted, or
overly soft, try switching the setting.

Connecting the speakers

Make sure you connect the speaker on the
right to the right terminal and the speaker on
the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the
positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the
amplifier match those on the speakers. You
can use speakers with a nominal impedance
between 4 Ω to 16 Ω.
Be sure to complete all connections before
connecting this unit to the AC power source.

• Connect the speakers to the speaker
terminals as shown above.
Connections for the left speaker are shown.
Connect the right speaker in the same way. You
can use either bare wire connections to do this
(see below).
Bare wire connections
Make sure that the speaker cable you're going
to use is properly prepared with about 10 mm
of insulator stripped from each wire, and the
exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).
To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a
few turns until there is enough space to insert
the exposed wire (fig. B). Once the wire is in
position, tighten the terminal until the wire is
firmly clamped (fig. C).
