Kenwood MX-5000

4 EN

72-Channel stereo configuration

This is the ‘standard’ stereo operation mode, with the amplifier

driving 2 speakers in stereo (such as the Surround Back Left and

Surround Back Right speakers in a THX Surround EX® home the-

ater system). The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power out-

put into each speaker.

1Make sure that the MX-5000’s power cord is unplugged

from the wall outlet before making any connections.

2According to the speakers to be used, set the speaker

impedance selector switch as follows:

• For 2 Ω speakers: Set the 2Ω (STEREO)/6Ω OVER switch

to 2Ω (STEREO) and 6Ω OVER/2Ω switch to 2Ω.

• For 6-16 Ω speakers: Set the 2Ω (STEREO)/6Ω OVER

switch to 6Ω OVER and 6Ω OVER/2Ω switch to 6Ω OVER.

3Connect the amplifier as shown in the diagram.

* If you connect more than one pair of speakers to the MX-5000, move the 2Ω (STEREO)/6Ω OVER (THX) switch to the 2Ω (STEREO)

position. The amplifier’s performance is not THX®-certified when the switch is set in the 2Ω (STEREO) position.

Now you can plug the power cord of this

unit into the AC outlet!

CAUTION:

Before reconnecting a speaker cord or switching a

selector switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the

power cord to avoid malfunctions or damage to the

unit.
