Incorrect wiring can result in a total loss of module output. • Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on. When all the connections check out, plug the power cord from the Acoustimass module into an AC (mains) outlet. Plug in the receiver also.

Using a highquality suppressor (available at electronics stores) can eliminate the vast majority of failures caused by a power surge.
