help with Kenwood KA-72B Amp

I just acquired a Kenwood KA-72B and for the life of me, can't find an owners manual...plenty of service manuals available. This probably sounds stupid, but I have never seen speaker terminals like these. Also, I have a Yamaha pre-amp I'd like to run with this...need help hooking this thing up.

speaker terminals -- twist speaker terminal 90 degrees, insert wire, twist speaker terminal back. What I can't remember, is if the terminals need to be horizontal, or vertical to insert the wires...you'll figure it out. Some Yamaha power amps use the same speaker terminals.

I'd suggest to be careful. These broke on my SAE. the integrated is now basically junk with similar (now broken) speaker terminals. not really sure why they failed (got bumped? twisted too hard? twisted the wrong way?). Be careful. Spray a little silicon lube on the connectors may help.

insert the wire and twist to hold in the wire.
