Speakers
This amplifier has two pairs of speaker terminals, ©
SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B.
Connecting one speaker system
Connect speakers rated at 4 ohms or more to the
SPEAKERS A terminals. 7
Connecting two speaker systems
To connect.an additional pair of speakers, use the B ter-
minals. In this case, each speaker must be rated at 8.
ohms or more.
Connecting an ordinary speaker system .
Connect the left speaker to the LEFT SPEAKERS A or B
terminals and the right speaker to the RIGHT

Particular attention must be given to making good disc:
trical contact at the amplifier-output and speaker ter-
minals. Poor or loose connections can cause sparking
or burning at the terminals because of the vely high
power that the amplifier can deliver.

Connection of speaker cable
Ground
For maximum safety and minimum interference con-
nect the GND terminal to a good earth ground if prac-
ticable. A good earth ground is a cold water pipe or a
metal stake driven into moist earth. However, never
use a gas pipe for this purpose.
INPUT jacks:
Connect these jacks and the OUTPUT jacks of a control
amplifier with audio cables equipped wath pin plugs on
each end.

[Thermal protector
This unit employs the thermal protector circuits
which automatically shuts off the power or i
operates muting if the temperature inside the
amplifier becomes unusually high. The protector
automatically restores the power when _ the
temperature drops to the normal level and the
cause of the unusual temperature rise must be
removed before the power is restored. Unusually
| high temperatures may be caused in poor ventila-
| tion condition or by a shorted output circuit.
