Located in a small drawer below the MAINS/LINE RECEPTACLE is the MAINS/LINE FUSE. The drawer can only be opened when the mains/line cord is removed See the relevant section for more details on replacement fuses.
7.LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUT TERMINALS The 200P is equipped with two double sets of output terminals per channel to enable easy
(+)and BLACK Negative
The loudspeaker leads, for both left and right channels should be cut to equal lengths and be as short as possible. This is to maintain uniform resistance at the lowest possible level. If the installation demands that the 200P be closer to one loudspeaker than the other, avoid neatly coiling any excess loudspeaker cable as this can create inductance and may affect high frequency signals. Always ensure connections are clean, firm and tight.

NOTE : You will also find on the rear panel written information and relevant precautions. Read and observe the information to ensure your safety and trouble free operation from your Perreaux 200P.
CONNECTIONS
Connect your loudspeakers and preamplifier to the 200P by following the numbered code on page 3 & 4.
Follow the sequence given in the next section, INSTALLATION & OPERATION PROCEDURES. This section incorporates all the information in the various areas of this manual to assist installation.
When connecting the 200P to auxiliary equipment terminate the interconnect cables with a red plug for the right channel and white, black or blue for the left channel. Terminate speaker cables using red for positive (+) and black, white or blue for negative
These are the most commonly accepted colour coding combinations in use internationally to help maintain channel and phase integrity (i.e. left to left, right to right, positive to positive, and negative to negative). After making all the connections, lay the leads and cables out in such a way so that loudspeaker leads are well away from the interconnect cables, and both are well separated from mains/line power cables.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PROCEDURES
Position all the separate components of your system close enough to your 200P to avoid having to stretch or extend any of the interconnect cables. Always make left and right channel connections while viewing the equipment you are connecting from the front. This will help ensure channel continuity throughout your system. Avoid errors by adopting a systematic approach when connecting your system together. Make all connections logically and carefully.
Note : Always switch off your 200P and ensure that the volume control on your preamplifier is set to zero before making any connections or alterations.
A recommended sequence of connection is as follows :
-Connect your loudspeakers to the output terminals (7) of the 200P. Be careful to maintain channel integrity, i.e. left to left, right to right, and phase integrity, positive
(+)to positive (+), and negative
-With the power switch (5) turned off, connect the output from your preamplifier to the 200P input sockets
(2 or 3). Ensure the position of the input configuration switch (4) is set for the type of interconnect cable being used i.e. balanced or unbalanced.
-Try to keep all
