Before making any connections turn off all equip-
ment.
Be sure to connect the left (L) and right (R) channels
consistently between components.
© CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Connect the cords for the left speakers to the L ter-
minals and the right speaker cords to the R termi-
nals, ensuring that the polarity (+ and —) markings
are observed.
Be sure to do this consistently from
component to component.
If the polarity is reversed
at either speaker, the sound will be unnatural and
lack bass. Speaker cords should be cut as short as
possible. Avoid coiling the wire on the floor or
bundling it up with cords from other system com-
ponents.
* Strip about 1cm (0.39in) of insulating material
from the ends of the speaker wires and twist the
strands of each end. Loosen the speaker terminal
knobs, insert the exposed wire into the hole and
then tighten the speaker terminal knobs.
RED for (+) sign.
BLACK for (—) sign.
@ CONNECTING A TURNTABLE
Connect the output cords of the turntable to the
amplifier Phono jacks and connect the ground wire
to the GND terminal.
Normally connecting the
ground wire produces minimum hum but in some
cases better results are obtained with the ground
wire disconnected. The turntable component and its
output cords should be positioned well away from
sources of hum such as power cords or power
transformers of other system components.
® CONNECTING A TUNER
Connect the cords from the Tuner's output jacks to
the TUNER jacks of the amplifier. As the amplifier's .
power supply may generate a certain arnount of
radio frequency noise, position the tuner so that its
AM antenna is well away from the amplifier.
@ CONNECTING TO THE CD AND VIDEO/AUX
JACKS
Connect your CD component to the CD terminals and
video sound output leads to the VIDEO/AUX termi-
nals.
Please note that a turntable cannot be con-
nected to the these jacks as they do not provide the
necessary RIAA equalization.

® CONNECTING TAPE DECKS
TAPE DECK 1.
Connect the cords from the tape deck's Line In jacks
to the REC OUT jacks of TAPE 1, ensuring that left
and right are not reversed. Then connect the tape
deck's Line Out jacks to the amplifier's Tape 1 PB
jacks.
TAPE DECK 2.
Another tape deck can be connected to TAPE 2 ter-
minals in the same fashion as described above.
@ AC OUTLETS (Generali and Canadian models)
For added convenience the AX-400/U provides 3 A'
outlets. Two "switched" outlets (the power to thes
receptacies is turned on and off by this unit's powe
switch) and one "unswitched" outlet (the power to
this receptacle is independeni of this unit's power
switch).
Be sure not to connect appliances totalin
more than 200 watts to the unswitched outlet or mor
than 100 watts (for Canadian model) or 150 waits (fc
General model) to the two switched ouilets.
