CONNECTIONS

Caution

*Before

making

connections,

disconnect

the

ground

terminal

of

the

car

battery

to

avoid

short

circuits.

*

Connect

the

red

power

input

lead

only

af-

ter

all

other

leads

have

been

connected.

Run

all

ground

wires

to

a

common

ground

point.

SPEAKER

CONNECTION

*Since

the

XM-601

employs

the

BTL

(balanced

transformerless)

circuit

system,

be

sure

to

make

speaker

connections

as

il-

lustrated.

If

the

connection

is

made

through

already

existing

speaker

leads

which

have

a

com-

mon

©

lead

for

both

right

and

left

chan-

nels,

it

is

possibile

that

the

amplifier

and

the

speaker

system

will

be

damaged.

*Do

not

connect

the

©

terminal

of

the

speaker

system

with

the

car

chassis,

and

do

not

connect

the

©

terminal

of

the

right

speaker

with

that

of

the

left

speaker.

Doing

so

will

damage

the

XM-601.
