Connecting Speakers
15
Connect the right speaker to the CD receiver’s right (R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to the
left (L) SPEAKERS terminals.
Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the CD
receiver.
Connect the negative (–) terminal on each speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on the CD
receiver.
Use the red wires to connect the positive (+) terminals.
Connect only speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. Connecting a speaker with a lower
impedance may damage the CD receiver.
Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the CD receiver.
Do not connect both speaker cables to the same L or R terminals (Fig. 1). Do not connect more than two
speaker terminals to each speaker (Fig. 2).
Terminal posts
Strip about 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from the ends of the
speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Unscrew
the terminal. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it’s
touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the
terminal tight.
