CAUTION  
Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are  
complete.  
All connections must be correct: L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty,  
no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be  
unnatural and lack bass. Refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components.

CONNECTIONS  
CAUTION  
The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch must be set to the appropriate position before connecting speaker sets. See  
page 4 for details.  
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or the  
speakers.  
Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are  
complete.  
Bi-wire connection  
1
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of  
insulation from the end of each speaker  
cable and twist the exposed wires of the  
cable together to prevent short circuits.  
Bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the  
combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire  
compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These  
two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two  
independent sections. With these connections, the mid and  
high frequency drivers are connected to one set of  
terminals and the low frequency driver to another set of  
terminals.

The center position produces a flat response.  
Notes  
• The audio signals are not output via the LINE 2 REC or LINE 3  
REC output jacks when LINE 2 or LINE 3 is selected with the  
REC OUT selector.  
• This unit must be turned on in order to record.  
• The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and  
LOUDNESS controls and the PURE DIRECT switch have no  
effect on the source being recorded.  
BASS  
When you feel there is not enough bass (low frequency  
sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is  
too much bass, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.  
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 Hz)  
• Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from  
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording copyright-protected  
material may infringe on copyright laws.  
TREBLE

sound), rotate clockwise to boost. When you feel there is  
too much treble, rotate counterclockwise to suppress.  
Control range: –10 dB to +10 dB (20 kHz)  
Adjusting the BALANCE control  
The BALANCE control adjusts the sound output balance  
of the left and right speakers to compensate for sound  
imbalance caused by speaker locations or listening room  
conditions.
