As acorkos is pointing out... the normal speaker jack is a three lug shorting or switch jack.
With nothing plugged in, the output is shorted to ground.
You can not use the other, aux extension "mono/unswitched jack, which only has two lugs, without having an open 1/4" phone plug inserted into the normal used speaker jack, thusly opening it's shorting switch.
Pretty wordy, huh? :o
