VPM500.

With

this

hook-up

method,

you

will

not

be

using

the

AUDIO

INPUT's

on

the

VPM500

and,

unless

you

have

a

remote

controlled

receiver

or

integrated

amplifier,

won't

be

able

to

use

the

VPM500's

remote

control

for

volume,

tone

and

balance

adjustments.

Regular

receiver

with

the

VPM500.

This

approach

takes

advantage

of

the

fact

that

the

VPM500

has

audio

line

outputs

as

well

as

speaker

outputs.

This

allows

you

to

use

the

VPM500's

remote

volume,

tone

and

balance

controls,

but

still

get

the

extra

power

of

your

existing

receiver

or

inte-

grated

amp.

Run

an

audio

hook-up

cable

from

the

AUDIO

OUT

sockets

on

your

video

source

to

the

top

AUDIO

IN

sockets

on

the

VPM500.

Now

connect

another

cable

from

the

VPM500's

AUDIO

OUT

sockets

(farther

to

the

right

on

the

back

of

the

projector)

back

to

the

AUX

inputs

on

your

receiver

or

amp.

(See

fig.

9.)

Make

sure

that

LEFT

and

RIGHT

chan-

nels

match

at

all

four

connection

points.

A

good

practice

is

to

use

RED

for

RIGHT

and

BLACK/GREY/WHITE

for

LEFT

channels.

Speaker

Hook-up

First

position

your

speakers

on

each

side

of

the

VPM500

screen.

Hook-up

wire.

We

recommend

you

use

speaker

hook-up

wire

no

thinner

than

18

gauge.

You

may

use

standard

"zip

cord"

available

at

hardware

and

building

supply

stores,

or

consult

your

Harman

Kardon

dealer

for

special

high-grade

speaker

cables.

Make

sure

that

the

hook-up

wires

are

exactly

the

same

length

for

each

speaker.

Separate

the

two

conductors

for

a

distance

of

about

one

inch,

and

strip

off

3

A3'

of

insulation

from

both

ends

of

each

con-

ductor.

Tightly

twist

the

exposed

wire

to

ensure

that

no

stray

filaments

of

wire

stick

out.

Next

identify

the

speaker

wire's

+

and

—

conductors.

Almost

all

double

stranded

wire

has

a

means

of

differentiating

one

strand

from

the

other.

This

could

be

a

dif-

ferent

color

conductor,

a

strand

of

yarn

in

one

conductor

or

ribs

on

one

part

of

the

insulation.

IT

DOES

NOT

MAKE

ANY

DIFFERENCE

WHICH

OF

THE

TWO

STRANDS

OF

WIRE

GO

TO

(

+

)

AND

(

-

)

ON

THE

SPEAKERS

AND

AM-

PLIFIER,

AS

LONG

AS

BOTH

SPEAK-

ERS

ARE

DONE

IDENTICALLY.
