- Speaker Connection: Plug each speaker's cable into the corresponding R-SP (Right Speaker) and L-SP (Left Speaker) RCA ports on the amplifier. Ensure correct left and right channel connections.
- Wired Control Connection: Plug the wired control cable into the 'RE' port on the amplifier.
- AUX Input (Optional): If using an external audio device via AUX, connect the 3.5mm AUX cable to the AUX port on the amplifier and to your device.
