Page 10 highlights

Setting Up Acoustimast module Pay careful attention to connecting all cable wires positive to positive and negative to negative (in phase). Out of phase wiring can cause total loss of Acoustimass module output. Your receiver may have more than one pair of front speaker outputs. They are usually labeled Speakers A and Speakers B. Use either set of outputs unless one is designated for a particular ohm rating. In that case, use the outputs intended for use with speakers rated 8 ohms (8≤≥) or less. 1. Connect the end of a 20-foot speaker cable to the RIGHT INPUT FROM RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER terminals on the Acoustimass module (see Figure 10 on page 11). 2. Connect the other end to the RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER outputs on your receiver. 3. Repeat 1 and 2 to connect the LEFT INPUT FROM RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER terminals to the LEFT FRONT SPEAKER outputs on your receiver. 4. Repeat to connect the CENTER INPUT FROM RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER terminals to the CENTER SPEAKER outputs on your receiver. If there are two sets of center channel outputs, use either set. Note: Ifyour receiver's center channelis not amplified, you must connect an amplifier to your receiver. Use RCA cable to connect the center channelRCA-type output on the receiver to the RCA-type input on the amplifier. Then connect the Acoustimass module directly to the amplifier, instead of to the receiver. CAUTION: Do not connect the Acousti- lip mass module directly to your television unless it provides surround decoding circuitry and amplified outputs for all channels. CAUTION: Be sure to attach rubber feet to the bottom surface of the Acoustimass module. If the terminal side of your Acoustimass module faces down, the rubber feet willminimize pressure on the wires, floor scratches, and speaker movement. 10

Setting
Up
Acoustimast
module
Pay
careful
attention
to
connecting
all
cable
wires
positive
to
positive
and
negative
to
negative
(in
phase).
Out
of
phase
wiring
can
cause
total
loss
of
Acoustimass
module
output.
Your
receiver
may
have
more
than
one
pair
of
front
speaker
outputs.
They
are
usually
labeled
Speakers
A
and
Speakers
B.
Use
either
set
of
outputs
unless
one
is
designated
for
a
particular
ohm
rating.
In
that
case,
use
the
outputs
intended
for
use
with
speakers
rated
8
ohms
(8≤≥)
or
less.
1.
Connect
the
end
of
a
20
-foot
speaker
cable
to
the
RIGHT
INPUT
FROM
RECEIVER
OR
AMPLIFIER
terminals
on
the
Acoustimass
module
(see
Figure
10
on
page
11).
2.
Connect
the
other
end
to
the
RIGHT
FRONT
SPEAKER
outputs
on
your
receiver.
3.
Repeat
1
and
2
to
connect
the
LEFT
INPUT
FROM
RECEIVER
OR
AMPLIFIER
terminals
to
the
LEFT
FRONT
SPEAKER
outputs
on
your
receiver.
4.
Repeat
to
connect
the
CENTER
INPUT
FROM
RECEIVER
OR
AMPLIFIER
terminals
to
the
CENTER
SPEAKER
outputs
on
your
receiver.
If
there
are
two
sets
of
center
channel
outputs,
use
either
set.
Note:
If
your
receiver's
center
channel
is
not
amplified,
you
must
connect
an
amplifier
to
your
receiver.
Use
RCA
cable
to
connect
the
center
channel
RCA
-type
output
on
the
receiver
to
the
RCA
-type
input
on
the
amplifier.
Then
connect
the
Acoustimass
module
directly
to
the
amplifier,
instead
of
to
the
receiver.
CAUTION:
Do
not
connect
the
Acousti-
mass
module
directly
to
your
lip
television
unless
it
provides
surround
decoding
circuitry
and
amplified
outputs
for
all
channels.
CAUTION:
Be
sure
to
attach
rubber
feet
to
the
bottom
surface
of
the
Acoustimass
module.
If
the
terminal
side
of
your
Acousti-
mass
module
faces
down,
the
rubber
feet
will
minimize
pressure
on
the
wires,
floor
scratches,
and
speaker
movement.
