Connection Precautions

Disconnect the AC cord before making or changing any input, trigger, or speaker wire connections. Make sure there is no strain or tension on any wires that could cause them to pull loose

Audio In Jacks

Connect the cables from your preamplifier or multi-room controller’s output jacks to the Model 5250 v.2’s channel 1–5 audio Input jacks.

We suggest using channels 1 and 2 for your left front (L) and right front (R) channels. This will assure correct operation of the Turn On Options audio sensing, should you choose to use it. Here is why:

When you listen to a stereo source your surround controller will have audio signals only at its left and right channel output jacks. The other channels won’t receive an audio signal for the Turn On Options circuit to sense.

Even if you always listen in a surround mode, the sub, center and surround channel sound levels aren’t high enough, on a consistent basis, for the Turn On Options audio sensing.
