Speaker Connection Precautions
You can connect one or two sets of speakers (A/B) to
the A-933, and select which set outputs sound, or use
both sets at the same time.
Connecting one set of speakers (A or B):
Only con-
nect speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or more
but less than 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a
lower impedance, and use the A-933 at high volume
levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection
circuit may be activated.
Connecting two sets of speakers (A and B):
Only
connect speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or
more but less than 16 ohms. If you use speakers with
a lower impedance, and use the A-933 at high volume
levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection
circuit may be activated.
Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet
before making any connections.
Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other
words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-
tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way
around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.
Unnecessarily long and very thin speaker cables may
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
Be careful not to short the
positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the
A-933.
Don’t connect more than one
wire to each speaker terminal.
Doing so may damage the
A-933.
Don’t connect a speaker to more than one pair of
speaker terminals.
Before Making any Connections
•Always refer to the instructions that came with the
component that you are connecting.
Do not plug in the power cord until all connec-
tions have been properly made.
Do not bind audio cables with power cords and
speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the
sound quality.
•To prevent interference, keep power cords and
speaker cables away from the tuner’s antenna.
RCA Audio Connection Color Coding
