Hooking Up the Components
Speaker Hookups (Bi-wired Connections)
When the speakers you are making connections to can be
bi-wired, bi-wired connections can be made to this unit.
Connect the two sets of jacks on the speaker to the
SPEAKERS A and B terminals on this unit using two
speaker cords for each speaker. For details, refer to the
instructions supplied with the speakers.
Connecting the speaker cords
Caution
This is a high output amplifier. Touching the stripped
end of the speaker cords when the power is on may
result in injury.
• Be sure to check that the amplifier is turned off before
making any connections.
• Strip both ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm
( 3 / 8 in.) and twist the wire strands of the cord together
(A).
• Insert each end of the speaker cord fully into the
speaker terminal.
Be sure the stripped portion of the speaker cord does
not protrude outside of the speaker terminal cover
(USA/Canada only) nor from the speaker terminal (B).

SPEAKERS A and B terminals.
Notes on speaker hookup
• Connect the right speaker to the “R” terminals, and
connect the left speaker to the “L” terminals.
• Be sure to match the ends of the speaker cord to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and –
to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.
• When the maximum input level of the speakers you are
using is low, try to avoid excessive power output from
this unit to the speakers by controlling the volume on
the preamplifier. Continuously playing an audio source
at a level that distorts the audio output may damage the
speakers.
• The speaker terminals on this unit are compatible with
Y lug jack connection (European model only).
z About bi-wired connections
Bi-wired connections can be carried out when the speaker has
two sets of input terminals that separate high and low frequency
audio signals.
