magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert you to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the appliance.

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
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.
10 mm (3/8 in)

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 recording device connected to the REC
output jacks (LINE 2 and/or LINE 3) on the

CAUTION
If the PURE DIRECT switch is turned on with the
LOUDNESS control set at a certain level, the input signals
bypass the LOUDNESS control, resulting in a sudden
increase in the sound output level. To prevent your ears or
the speakers from being damaged, be sure to press PURE
