Playing Two or More Speaker Pairs Simultaneously

1.Make sure both of the amplifiers are OFF and set the vol- ume controls to minimum.

2.On the right side of the SVL-4AB's front panel is a button labeled PROTECTION. This button activates the SVL-4AB's impedance correction circuitry. The circuitry assures that both of your receivers or amplifiers will see a safe operating load when playing multiple speaker pairs simultaneously. Since most receivers and amplifiers are not rated for use below a 4 ohm 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.
