CAUTION
< After all connections are complete, connect the power cord's plug
to the AC wall socket.
< The metal portions of the two separate wires should not touch or
an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires can create a fire hazard
or induce a failure in your equipment.

Speaker cables
Connect the speakers with commercially-available speaker cables.
< Use the shortest speaker cables possible. As cables become longer,
electrical resistance increases and damping characteristics are
reduced. Moreover, inductance and capacitance also increase,
degrading the quality of high frequency sounds.
< Ideally, left and right speaker cables should be the same length.

Turn the terminal cap counter-clockwise to loosen, clockwise to
tighten.
< Be sure to connect each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise,
do not bundle the connection cords.
Using speaker cables with bare wire
Turn the terminal cap counter-clockwise to loosen it. Insert the wire
core through the hole in the terminal and tighten the terminal cap.
Using speaker cables with spades
Turn the terminal cap counter-clockwise to loosen it. Insert the
spade around the terminal and tighten the terminal cap.
Using speaker cables with banana plugs
With the terminal cap tightened, insert the plug into the jack on
the end of the cap.
< Read the instructions supplied with the banana plug.
For European customers
In accordance with European safety regulations, it is not possible
to connect banana plugs into the speaker terminals on European
models. The holes into which banana plugs are inserted have
been covered with black caps. Connect the speakers using spades
or bare wires. If the black caps become separated from the
terminals, return them to their original position.
