tuner,

connect

the

left

output

connector

of

your

tuner

to

the

left

TUNER

INPUT

(26)

on

your

hk750.

Simi-

larly

connect

the

right

output

connector

of

your

tuner

to

the

right

TUNER

INPUT

the

hk750.

Push

the

plugs

in

all

the

way

so

they

are

firmly

seated,

making

good

electrical

contact.

Connecting

tape

decks

to

the

hk750

To

connect

a

tape

deck, connect

the

left

output

connector

of

your

tape

deck

to

the

left

TAPE

1

INPUT

connector

(28)

on

your

hk750.

Now

connect

the

right

output

connector

of

your

deck

to

the

right

TAPE

1

INPUT

connector

(28)

on

your

hk750.

Using

a

second

pair

of

patch

cords,

connect

the

left

input

connector

of

your

deck

to

the

left

TAPE

1

OUTPUT

connector

(29)

on

your

hk750.

Now

connect

the

right

input

connector

of

your

deck

to

the

right

TAPE

OUTPUT

(29)

on

your

hk750.

Push

the

plugs

in

all

the

way

so

they

are

firmly

seated,

A

second

tape

deck

may

be

con-

nected

similarly

using

the

TAPE

2

INPUT

and

OUTPUT

connectors

(30)

(31).

Connecting

other

equipment

to

the

hk750

A

pair

of

AUXILIARY

INPUTS

(27)

is

available

at

the

rear

of

the

hk750

for

the

connection

of

any

"high

level"

output

equipment.

A

special

tuner

for

long

wave,

marine,

aircraft

or

citizen's

bands,

etc.,

may

be

connected.

Or

you

may

choose

to

connect

the

output

of

the

audio

section

of

a

television

receiver.

Any

number

of

choices

are

available.

Consult

your

audio

dealer

for

information

as

to

what

equip-

ment

is

compatible

with

your

hk750.

Connecting

speakers

Use

two

-conductor

stranded

wire

to

connect

your

speakers

to

the

receiver.

Eighteen

gauge

lamp

cord

(zip

cord)

is

satisfactory,

but

a

heavier

gauge

(16

or

14

gauge)

is

preferable,

especially

for

dis-

tances

over

25

feet.

Cut

two

segements

of

wire

long

enough

to

reach

each

speaker.

Separate

the

conductors

at

each

end

of

the

wire

segments

for

a

length

of

two

or

three

inches.

Then

carefully

remove

about

one

-

quarter

inch

of

insulation

from

each

free

end.

Twist

the

strands

of

each

conductor

so

they

are

smooth

and

tight

with

no

loose

strands.

Lamp

cord

usually

provides

a

"code"

that

differentiates

the

two

conductors.

A

conductor

may

be

coded

by

a

rib,

sharp

corner,

or

indentations

molded

along

the

length

of

the

insulation.

In

some

cases,

a

thin

colored

thread

is

molded

along

the

length

of

the

insulation.

In

others,

one

conductor

is

darker

than

the

other,

or

the

insulation

of

each

conductor

is

of

a

different

color.

Connect

the

bare

ends

of

one

seg-

ment

of

lamp

cord

to

your right

speaker

as

follows:

Connect

the

coded

conductor

to

the

speaker's

positive

("+")

terminal,

and

the

uncoded

conductor

to

negative

("—").

(The

"+"

and

"—"

markings

are

in

general

use,

although

some

speakers

use

other

labeling

systems,

such

as

"1"

and

"2,"

"A'

and

"B"

and

so

on.)

Find

the

appropriate

row

of

speaker

connectors

on

the

receiver

marked

SYS-

TEM

1

(32).

Push

in

on

the

red

plastic

head

of

the

connector

marked

RIGHT

to

reveal

an

opening

beneath.

Insert

the

bare

end

of

the

coded

conductor

into

the

opening.

Release

the

connector.

The

conductor

should

now

be

locked

firmly

into

place.

Insert

the

uncoded

conductor

into

the

adjacent

black

connector

marked

GND.

Repeat

the

procedure

for

the

left

speaker,

taking

care

to

observe

the

cod-

ing

of

the

conductors

as

described

for

the

right

speaker.

If

the

code

is

followed

as

described,

your

speakers

will

be

con-

nected

"in

phase,"

which

is

important

for

solid

bass

and

precise

lateral

location

of

the

sound

source.

To

connect

a

second

pair

of

speakers,

repeat

the

procedure

for

the

right

and

left

speakers

of

the

second

pair,

using

the

receiver

terminals

marked

SYSTEM

2

(33).
