Note: If you elect this connection arrangement you will probably need to use the Turn On Options12V option because none of these channels supplies adequate levels for the 5125 v.2’s Audio sensing.

Each – and + speaker terminal will accept bare speaker wire up to AWG 12, a wire terminated with a 1⁄4” spade lug, or with a single banana plug; dual banana plugs which are 3⁄4” (19mm) apart may be used for each speaker.

If you use bare wires, remove only enough insulation, about 1⁄2” (12mm) for each exposed bare wire to insert through the small hole in the side of the binding post. Before inserting a bare wire, twist the strands tightly between your fingers to prevent strays that might touch the chassis or another terminal and cause a short circuit. If you have soldering experience you may want to “tin” the stripped bare wire with solder for a cleaner termination and to prevent the wire from oxidizing.

Correct Speaker Polarity is Important

As you connect the speaker wires, you can see that the insulation on one of the two wires in each pair has either printing or a raised ridge. The marking lets you know which wire you con- nected to the positive speaker terminal at its other end.

Make sure the + wire you attach to each Model 5125 v.2 + speaker terminal is attached to the + terminal of the speaker for that channel.

Turn On Options Switch

For convenience, there are three ways the Model 5250 v.2 can be turned on and off.

•Manually, by pressing the Power button on the front panel.

•Automatically, when a suitable trigger voltage is applied to its 12V In (input) jack.

•Automatically, when an audio signal is present at the channels 1 and 2 audio Input jacks.
