put

the

switch

between

the

two

input

connectors

in

the

"Bridged"

pointing

down.

In

this

configuration,

connections

to

the

speakers

receiving

the

normal

power

feed

from

the

unbridged

channels

should

be

made

to

the

connectors

for

Channels

One

and

Two

in

the

normal

fashion.

That

is,

connect

the

wire

running

to

each

speaker

to

the

appropriate

output

channel

as

marked.

The

"+"

or

"positive"

connection

goes

to

the

top

binding

post

with

the

red

barrel.

The

"-"

or

"negative"

connection

goes

to

the

bottom

binding

post

with

the

black

barrel.

The

connection

for

the

higher

power,

(bridged)

channel

should

be

following

the

connection

diagram

between

the

speaker

connection

binding

posts

for

Channel

Three

and

Four.

Connect

the

"+"

or

positive

connection

going

to

the

binding

post

marked

"+"

for

Channel

Three

to

the

"+"

or

"red"

terminal

on

the

speaker.

The

connection

going

to

the

negative

terminal

on

the

speaker

should

be

connected

to

the

binding

post

marked

To

complete

the

bridging

of

the

circuits,

use

one

of

the

jumpers

packed

with

the

7.1

to

make

a

connection

between

the

Negative ("-")

speaker

connection

terminals

for

Channel

as

shown

in

Figure
