Phono Turntable yh

See Figure 6

Connect the left and right audio output cables of a turntable to the left/right RCA jacks la- beled PHONO on the RX-1052. Connect the ground wire from your turntable to the phono ground lug, labeled GND.

TV Monitor p

See Figure 5

Connect the TV MONITOR output to the cor- responding input on your television monitor, using a composite video cable.

Speakers [

See Figure 5

There are two sets of binding post connec- tions (one pair for SPEAKERS A and one for SPEAKERS B) which accept bare wire, spade lugs, or banana plug connectors (in some markets).

NOTE: The combined speaker impedance must be a minimum of 4 ohms. If you are driving just one pair of speakers (A or B connections), use speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 ohms or higher. If you are driving two pairs of speakers (A and B) si- multaneously, use speakers rated at 8 ohms or higher.

Each pair of connectors is color-coded for po- larity: red for positive and black for negative. Speakers and speaker wire are also marked for polarity. For proper performance, you must maintain this polarity at all speaker connec- tions. Always connect the positive terminal of each speaker to the corresponding red speak- er terminal on the RX-1052 and the negative speaker terminal to the corresponding black connector on the RX-1052.

English

Route the wires from the RX-1052 to the speak- ers. Leave enough slack so you can move the components to allow access to the speaker connectors. If you are using banana plugs, connect them to the wires and then plug them into the binding posts. The collars of the bind- ing posts should be screwed in all the way (clockwise). If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are attach- ing bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire conductors and strip back the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be careful not to cut into the wire strands. Un- screw the binding post collars. Place the con- nector lug or the twisted bare wire through the hole in the binding post shaft. Turn the collars clockwise to clamp the connector lug or wire firmly in place.

NOTE: Be sure that no loose wire strands can touch adjacent wires or connectors.

Connecting one pair of speakers:

1.Connect the right speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS A RIGHT.

2.Connect the left speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS A LEFT.

Connecting a 2nd pair of speakers:

1.Connect the right speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS B RIGHT.

2.Connect the left speaker to the binding posts labeled SPEAKERS B LEFT.

NOTE: Installers can make use of the RX-1052’s remote speaker switching func- tion to program a learning remote control to switch the speakers on or off as desired.
