sRun all speaker wiring (16 gauge is recommended) and control wiring (Cat5)* to the DLA2/4/6. Be sure to label the wires for easy identification.
sPlace the DLA2/4/6 in the same equipment location as the Receiver/Amplifier.
sTurn off all power to the Receiver/Amplifier and make sure the DLA2/4/6 power supply is unplugged!
sStrip approximately 3/8" of insulation from the ends of all speaker and control wiring. Twist the exposed end of each speaker wire to ensure that no loose strands remain.

CHome Theater Receiver with "Zone 2"
WARNING! Do not connect speakers to the DLA2/4/6 that have an impedance value lower than what is supported by your receiver/amplifier. In doing so, you run the risk of overheating and damaging both the DLA2/4/6 and your receiver/amplifier! Consult speaker and receiver/amplifier manuals for their specific impedance ratings.
2Connect Speakers
Be sure to connect the positive speaker wire to the positive input of the speaker and the negative speaker wire to the negative input of the speaker.
