MAKING THE CONNECTION
Before doing anything, insure that the power switch on the amplifier’s front panel is in
the ‘off’ position.
Again, it is recommended that you locate a separate AC power outlet for the amplifier,
one that is
not
shared by any other audio component in the system or any other
household component. This will eliminate the possibility of the amplifier ‘modulating’
the power being supplied to the component and compromising the signal originating
from that component.
Locate the AC power cord provided with the amplifier and plug it into the power input
receptacle in the rear panel.
Do not connect it to the AC power source yet!
Connect the audio cables from your preamplifier’s output to the corresponding input
connector on the amplifier.
Connect the wires from your speakers to the appropriate outputs on the amplifier. It is
absolutely essential that you observe correct polarity in all of these connections.
Example:
If you connect your left front output of your preamplifier to channel 4 input on the amplifier,
remember to connect your left front speaker wires to channel 4's outputs. Always observe polarity when
connectin
g
speakers, connect amplifiers (+) to the speakers (+) and amplifiers (-) to speakers (-).
Double check all connections.
Connect a playback unit (CD, DVD, VLD, Tuner, etc.) to the preamplifier. Turn on the
preamplifier, turn the volume on the preamplifier to a minimum level, then turn on the
amplifier (in that order). Set the source on the preamplifier to the playback unit you’ve
just connected. Turn the volume up slowly and listen for music from all channels. If
this is not the case, and you don’t hear any sound, double check your installation.
Should you encounter any problems that cannot be traced to the source or the
material being played, consult the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section on page 10.
Note: When turnin
g
equipment ‘off’, the amplifier should always be turned off
first
, then
the preamplifier. When turnin
g
equipment ‘on’, the preamplifier should always be turned
on
first
, then the amplifier.
Before turnin
g
anythin
g
on, insure the preamplifier is at a
low volume level.
