Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cables about  10
mm.  Be sure to match the speaker cable to the
appropriate terminal on the components:  + to + and –
to –.  If the cables are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use speakers with low maximum input rating,
adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output
on the speakers.
To avoid short-circuiting the speaker
cables
A short-circuiting in the speaker cables will mute the
speakers, and may even damage the receiver.  To prevent
this, make sure to take the following precautions when
connecting the speakers.
Make sure the stripped ends of each speaker
cable do not touch another speaker terminal or
the stripped end of another speaker cable.
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cable
Stripped speaker cable is touching another speaker
terminal.
Stripped cables are touching each other due to excessive
removal of insulation.
