CENTER

(Cont.)

and

is

controlled

by

the

on/off

switch

on

the

front

panel.

Any

auxili-

ary

equipment

may

be

plugged

into

this

outlet.

The

rating

of

the

should

not

exceed

200

CONNECTING

THE

SPEAKERS

FOR

STEREO

OPERATION

A

24

-foot

speaker

cable

has

been

supplied

with

this

control

center.

Each

end

of

the

cable

is

equipped

with

a

molded

RCA

type

plug

for

easy

installation

with

any

HARMAN-KARDON

speaker

system.

The

wire

may

be

dressed

along

the

molding

or

along

the

edge

of

the

rug

for

a

neat

and

inconspicuous

installation.

Do

NOT

drive

staples

or

tacks

into

the

center

of

the

wire

since

this

could

cause

a

short

between

the

two

sec-

tions

which

would

result

in

distortion,

diminished

volume,

or,

at

worst,

a

blown

output

fuse.

Connect

one

end

of

the

speaker

wire

to

the

left

receptacle

of

the

speak-

er

output

terminal,

and

the

other

end

to

the

left

HARMAN-KARDON

HK30

or

HK40

speaker

system.

(The

input

connector

is

located

on

the

rear

of

the

HARMAN-KARDON

speaker,

near

the

high

frequency

balance

control).

In

the

same

manner,

connect

the

other speaker

wire

to

the

right

speaker

receptacle

on

the

speaker

output

terminal

strip

and

the

other

end

to

the

right

HARMAN-KARDON

speaker

system.

If

you

are

not

using

HARMAN-KARDON

speakers,

clip

the

molded

RCA

plugs

from

one

end

of

each

speaker

cable

and

attach

them

to

the

standard

screw

terminals

on

the

rear

of

the

speakers.

Be

sure

your

speakers

are

properly

phased.

SPEAKER

PHASING

When

more

than

one

speaker

is

used

in

any

music

reproducing

system,

the

speakers

must

be

connected

so

they

work

together

rather

than

work

out

of

phase.

If

one

speaker

is

pushing

air

out

while

the

other

is

moving

in

the

opposite

direction,

the

result

will

be

diminished

bass

response.

To

check

for

proper

phase

and/or

to

correct

for

same

if

necessary

is

quite

simple.

1.

Place

a

stereophonic

recording

on

your

record

player.

2.

Place

the

function

selector

in

the

PHONO

MONO

mode.

3.

Play

the

record.

The

sound

should

emerge

from

approximately

the

center

area

between

the

two

speakers.

4.

While

the

record

is

playing,

place

the

Function

switch

in

the

Phono

Stereo

position.

5.

The

sound

should

now

move

across

the

wall

of

the

room

and

should

appear

to

come

from

both

speakers

as

well

as

the

center.

6.

If

your

speakers

are

out

-of

-phase,

the

sound

source

will

not

pinpoint

itself

between

the

two

speakers

when

the

switch

is

in
