Speaker A/B connection
This unit is equipped with two sets of speaker terminals (SPEAKER A and SPEAKER B). One set of speakers can be connected to each set of terminals,
and a total of two sets of speakers can be connected.
The same signal is output from the SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B terminals.
When only one set of speakers is to be connected, use either the SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminals.

Bi-wiring connection
This connection limits the effects of signal interference between the high range speakers (tweeters) and low range speakers (woofers), allowing you to
enjoy high quality playback.
When bi-wiring with bi-wireable speakers, connect the mid and high range terminals to SPEAKERS B (or SPEAKERS A), the low range terminals to
SPEAKERS A (or SPEAKERS B).

Connecting a playback device
You can connect turntables, tuners, Blu-ray disc players, network audio players and CD players to this unit.
This unit is compatible with turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge. When you connect to a turntable with a low output moving
coil (MC) cartridge, use a commercially available MC head amp or a step-up transformer.
If you set this unit’s input source to “PHONO” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.
NOTE
0
The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not
for safety grounding purposes. If this terminal is
connected when there is a lot of noise, the noise can
be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable,
connecting the ground line may have the reverse
effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not
necessary to connect the ground line.
0
The PHONO input terminals are equipped with a
short pin-plug. Remove this plug to connect a record
player. Store the removed short pin-plug in a safe
place so as not to lose it.

Check the speaker connections. The protection circuit may have been activated because speaker cable core wires came in contact with each other or a
core wire was disconnected from the connector and came in contact with the rear panel of this unit. After unplugging the power cord, take corrective
action such as firmly re-twisting the core wire or taking care of the connector, and then reconnect the wire. (v p. 14)

Explanation of terms
Source direct
Playback with higher fidelity to the source becomes possible, as input
audio signals are output by bypassing the tone control circuits (BASS/
TREBLE/BALANCE).
Speaker impedance
This is an AC resistance value, indicated in Ω (ohms).
Greater power can be obtained when this value is smaller.
Protection circuit
This is a function to prevent damage to devices within the power supply
when an abnormality such as an overload, excess voltage occurs or over
temperature for any reason.
