4. Turn on the amplifier or receiver and select a source, such
as the tuner or CD player.
5. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume, and set it
to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be careful
not to overdrive or "clip" your amplifier. If the sound
becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of
your amplifier's volume capability and should reduce the
volume quickly to avoid damaging your speakers.
6. To turn off one or more speaker pairs, simply press the
corresponding ON/OFF button(s) on the HDL-6. Refer to the
Protection Chart for the correct setting of the PROTECTION
button.
Constant Protection Switch
The HDL-6 is equipped with a manual override for the
protection circuit that enables you to defeat the front-panel
protection switch and maintain constant impedance protec-
tion. This will safeguard your amplifier from being overdriven
due to accidental or improper use by anyone unfamiliar with
the equipment.
To engage this override, move the rear-panel "CONSTANT
PROTECTION" switch to the "ON" position. This will maintain
constant impedance protection until the switch is turned
to "OFF."
