Very simple... zero out the scale of an ohm meter.  Then, place one probe on the round center prong of the three prong plug.  Place the other probe on one of the  nuts fastening either one of the input jacks to the front panel.  If you read zero ohms... you are all set. If you read anything other than zero... you could be fried otherwise.
