Follow these steps to connect speakers using a transformer.

Connect a wire from on the back of the amplifier to the transformer’s desired pri- mary tap (10, 5, 2.5, 1.25 or 0.62 watts).

Note: Usually, each speaker in a system uses the same wattage tap. If you want a particular speaker to have a higher volume

level, connect the wire fromto a higher wattage tap on the transformer.

Connect a wire from COM on the back of the amplifier to the C (common) taps on the transformer’s primary side.

Connect a wire from the speaker’s positive

(+)terminal to the transformer’s secondary tap that matches the speaker’s total imped- ance (4 ohms, 8 ohms, or 16 ohms).

Connect a wire from the speaker’s negative

(–)terminal to the C (common) tap on the transformer’s secondary side.

USING YOUR AMPLIFIER

Press in POWER to turn on the amplifier.

Start the input sound source.

Rotate MASTER VOLUME to its mid-position.

One at a time, adjust MIC 1, MIC 2, MIC 3, MIC 4/PHONO, and CD/AUX to the desired volume and balance.

Note: If you hear feedback after you adjust

these controls, turnclock- wise until the noise disappears (see “Using the Feedback Filter” on Page 14).

After you get the desired balance, adjust MASTER VOLUME to the desired volume lev- el.

CONNECTING POWER

To connect the amplifier to power, plug its power cord into a standard AC outlet.

Your amplifier’s fuse (located on the amplifi- er’s back panel) protects the amplifier from voltage surges. If the PROTECTION indica- tor does not light when you press POWER (see “Using Your Amplifier” and “Safety Indi- cators” on Page 13), check the fuse. If it is blown, see “Replacing the Fuse” on Page 17.
