Connections
■ Before connecting to the SPEAKERS 
terminal
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables 
running side by side. Cables are colored or shaped 
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridges. 
Connect the striped (grooved, etc.) cable to the “+” (red) 
terminals of this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain 
cable to the “–” (black) terminals.
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation 
from the end of each speaker cable and then 
twist the bare wires of the cable together to 
prevent short circuits.
■ Connecting to the SPEAKER terminals
1
Loosen the knob.
2
Insert the bare end of the speaker wire into 
the hole on the terminal.
3
Tighten the knob to secure the wire.
Connecting the banana plug
(except Europe, Russia, Korea, and Asia models) 
The banana plug is a single-pole electrical connector 
widely used to terminate speaker cables. First, tighten the 
knob and then insert the banana plug connector into the 
end of the corresponding terminal.
