Connect

as

follows:

1.

Remove

about

3/4

inch

(20mm)

of

insulation

from

the

end

of

each

wire

and

twist

the

strands

of

each

conductor.

2.

After making

sure

of

the

correct

channel

and

polarity,

loosen

the

SPEAKER

terminal

knob

and

insert

the

conductor

directly

into

the

recess

at

the

upper

-left

of

the

terminal.

Then

tighten

the

terminal

knob,

and

the

end

of

speaker

wire

is

automatically

wound

around

the

terminal.

0

Setting

the

Speaker

Operating

Mode

Switches

These

switches,

located

in

the

top

right

corner

of

the

back

panel,

optimizes

the

amplifier

for

the

best

possible

operation

with

your

speakers.

It

is

extremely

important

that

you

set

these

switches

before

playing

your

speakers.

First,

determine

the

impedance

of

your

speakers.

The

impedance

may

be

noted

on

the

back

of

the

speaker

or

in

the

owner's

manual.

If

not,

call

the

dealer

or

manufacturer

to

find

out

the

impedance.

If

you

are

using

set

of

8

ohm

speakers,

set

both

of

the

"Speaker

Operating

Mode"

switches

to

852

position.

In

all

other

cases,

use

the

452

positions.

If

you

are

in

doubt

about

the

impedance

of

your

speakers,

use

the

4Q

positions,

since

the

power

amplifier

runs

cooler

in

this

mode.

Having

these

switches

set

to

8Q

if

you

are

using

4

ohm

or

6

ohm

speakers

may

result

in

overheating

of

the

amplifier

or

failure

of

an

internal

fuse.

Bridged

Mono

Operation

This

feature

permits

both

amplifier

channels

to

drive

one

852

loudspeaker.

To

operate

the

amplifier

in

this

way,

set

both

of

the

"Speaker

Operating

Mode"

switches

to

the

4Q

positions,

set

the

"Bridged

Mono"

switch

in

the

"On"

position

and

connect

one

channel

of

the

preamplifier

output

to

the

amplifier's

left

input

jack.

Then

connect

the

amplifier's

Left

(Mono

+)

speaker

terminal

to

the

loudspeaker's

"+"

wire

and

the

amplifier's

Right

(Mono

—)

speaker

terminal

to

the

loudspeaker's

-"

wire.

Please

note:

The

amplifier

is

not

designed

to

drive

a

412

speaker

in

the

Bridged

Mono

mode.
