SUMPTION:

 

The RMZ-955 is supplied with eight quick-connect screw termi- nal plugs for speaker connections – one twin-terminal plug is used for each speaker, two for each zone. Make the wire con- nections from a speaker to a quick-connect plug and then insert the plug into the appropriate receptacle on the back panel of the RMZ-955, as illustrated.

Strip back each speaker wire’s insulation by 1/4 inch. Insert the bare wire into one “slot” on the quick-connect plug and secure by tightening the corresponding clamping screw. Repeat for the other conductor, making sure that there are no loose strands of wire which could cause a short. Repeat for the second speaker in zone one and then continue with the other zones.

Remember to observe proper polarity when connecting all loud- speakers. The amplifier’s “+” output should connect to the proper speaker’s “+” terminal. “Out of phase” loudspeaker hook- ups (where one speaker in a stereo pair is inadvertently con- nected “+” to “-” and vice versa) may not be immediately noticeable but will not be as pleasing as a properly connected stereo pair. BE CAREFUL AND BE PATIENT.
