10. Connections

Ensure that the mains plug is disconnected before connecting the amplifier.
Before connecting, turn off all devices that you want to connect to the amplifier.
a) Connecting the RCA inputs
Only connect shielded RCA cables to the RCA inputs. Other cables may cause interference.
To avoid distortion or mismatching, only connect devices with an RCA output. Connecting other types of
device may damage the amplifier.
Suitable devices include DVD players, CD players, and other playback devices with a line-out connection.
Do not connect a record player to the RCA inputs without using a phono preamplifier.
• There are four RCA inputs for connecting audio devices.
• Connect the RCA outputs on your playback device (e.g. DVD player, CD player or tuner) to the DIGITAL INPUT
sockets (10).
The white RCA socket ("L") should be connected to the left RCA output on the playback device (e.g. CD player).
The red RCA socket ("R") should be connected to the right RCA output on the playback device (e.g. CD player).
b) Connecting speakers
Two cables are required to connect each speaker. Ensure there are no sharp edges that may damage the
cables.
Ensure that your speakers have a sufficiently high power rating (see "Technical data").
Connect the speakers directly to the amplifier. Do not use headphone adapters or distribution boxes. If you
are not sure how to connect your speakers, contact a specialist.
Check that all speakers are connected in the correct polarity (observe the plus and minus markings).
This amplifier has been designed for speakers with an impedance of 4-8 Ohms. Only connect one speaker
to each output.
• You can connect banana plugs or stripped speaker wires (max. 2.5 mm in diameter).
• If your speakers come with banana plugs, insert the plugs into the speaker connections on the amplifier.
• To attach speaker wires, unscrew the clamps slightly and insert the stripped ends of each wire. Tighten the clamps
to secure the wires in place. To prevent a short circuit, ensure that the strands on the speaker wires are fully inserted
into the clamps.
• Connect the right speaker to the "R" connection (12):
Connect the positive pole of the right speaker to the "+" clamp.
Connect the negative pole of the right speaker to the "-" clamp.
• Connect the left speaker to the "L" connection (12):
Connect the positive pole of the left speaker to the "+" clamp.
Connect the negative pole of the left speaker to the "-" clamp.
