Notes:

 

1. If you are using amplifiers with different power ratings, use

 

the highest rated power amplifier for the center and subwoofer

 

channels. Use the next most powerful amplifier for the left and

 

right channels. Your smallest amplifier should be used for the

 

surround channels.

 

2. Connections from the video components to the P/SP-1500

 

show both S-video and composite video jacks. If the video

 

component you are connecting to the P/SP-1000 has both,

 

use only one type at a time.

 

3. For clarity, drawing does not show all possible connections.

4. Safety and patent information are on the bottom panel.
