REAR PANEL SWITCH AND CONTROL SETTINGS

There are several switches and controls on the rear panel that you’ll have to check before operating your system, and it’s a good idea to do it before you connect cables. Locate the MAIN LEVEL slide switch (G) and FRONT MIX slide switch (F). Make sure the MAIN LEVEL switch is set to “0 dB” and the FRONT MIX switch is set to “OFF” for 7 or 6 speaker driving.

In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to “ON”.

For General model only, set the NTSC/PAL switch (E) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipment employs and set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (2) to the position suitable for the frequency spacing in your area.

For the setting of IMPEDANCE SELECTOR switch (N), see page 34.

For the setting of the center speaker switch (7), see page 32.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTIONS

Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the white plug for the “L” jacks.

For connections with audio/video source equipment, use RCA type pin plug cables with the exception described later.

With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color.
