Playing Two or More Speaker Pairs Simultaneously

1.Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the volume to minimum.

2.On the right side of the SVL-6's front panel is a button labeled PROTECTION. This button activates the SVL-6's impedance correction circuitry. The circuitry assures that your receiver or amplifier will see a safe operating load when playing multiple speaker pairs simultaneously. Since most receivers and amplifiers are not rated for use below a

4ohm load, you will need to activate the PROTECTION button whenever the overall system impedance might fall below 4 ohms. Use the following chart as a guide for set- ting the PROTECTION button.
