Speaker System Hookups
Although front (left and right) speakers are required,
center and rear speakers are required only for enjoying
surround sound.
What cords will I need?
Speaker cord (not supplied)
Twist the stripped ends of the cord about 2/3 inch (15
mm). Be sure to match the speaker cord to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and –
to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack bass.

* If your turntable has an earth lead, connect it to y
SIGNAL GND on the unit to prevent hum.
