ASSEMBLY

AND

CONNECTIONS

8.

CONNECT

THE

LOUDSPEAKERS.

Optional

Festival

speakers

can

be

pur-

chased

,

and

we

strongly

recommend

them

because

they

match

the

characteris-

tics

of

the

amp,

and

in

themselves

repre-

sent

an

excellent

value.

If

you

choose

to

use

other

speakers,

see

Appendix

B

for

guidance

on

the

choice

of

speakers.

The

Festival

500

has

two

individually

switchable

sets

of

speaker

terminals

for

two

pairs

of

speakers,

perhaps

in

differ-

ent

rooms,

marked

"Speakers

A"

and

"Speakers

B".

Festival

500

owners

may

perform

the

following

using

either

the

"A"

or

"B"

set

of

terminals.

The

Festival

300

has

just

one

set

of

speaker

terminals.

(CONT.)

Loosen

each

speaker

connector.

Starting

with

the

right

channel

insert

the

positive

lead

into

the

red

speaker

terminal

marked

"+".

The

speaker

wire's

insula-

tion

must

be

stripped

back

about

10

mm

(1/2").

You

will

note

a

hole

near

the

top

of

the

terminal.

Place

the

end

of

the

lead

in

that

hole

and

then

screw

the

terminal

knob

down

firmly.

You

may

find

that

temporarily

unplugging

the

ribbon

cable

from

the

amplifier

makes

this

easier.

Do

the

same

for

the

negative

lead

and

the

black

speaker

terminal

marked

"—".

Repeat

for

the

left

channel.

Terminals

on

speakers

are

similarly

marked

with

a

red

or

"+"

terminal

and

a

black

or

"—"

termi-

nal.

Be

certain

the

red

terminal

of

the

amplifier

is

connected

to

the

red

terminal

of

the

speaker,

and

the

black

terminal

of

the

amplifier

is

connected

to

the

black

terminal

of

the

speaker.

If

you

unplugged

the

ribbon

cable

while

connecting

the

speakers,

replace

it

now.

TV

(AUX)

Input:

The

Festival

controller

-

tuner

has

two

additional

pairs

of

audio

jacks

which

allow

you

to

integrate

audio

or

video

components

which

are

not

part

of

the

Festival

system.

Please

see

the

Appendix

A

for

further

information.
