SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
CONSIDERATIONS
There
will
most
likely
be
a
number
of
cables
involved
in
the
installation
of
your
home
entertainment
system.
Therefore,
pre-planning
is
essential
in
order
to
maximize
system
efficiency.
We
recommend
the
following
as
a
means
of
helping
you
reach
that
goal.
-
Use
the
diagram
on
page
8
of
this
manual,
or
make
your
own
diagram
of
your
proposed
system,
to
lay
out
the
location
of
components,
the
amplifier
and
the
proposed
cable
runs
between
them
in
the
room.
Number
each
cable
and
record
its
length
on
the
drawing
for
future
reference.
For
example,'
#3-
IN-12’
"
denotes
input
cable
from
source
channel
#
3
and
that
it
is
12
feet
tong.
"
#1
OUT
(L.
REAR)
■
20’
"
denotes
that
#1
speaker
output
has
been
assigned
to
the
left
rear
speaker
and
that
its
length
is
20
feet.
-
Cable
runs
are
critical
in
that
they
must
be
kept
away
from
sources
of
power
radiation
(amplifiers,
power
cords,
heaters
etc.).
For
the
sake
of
safety,
they
should
also
be
kept
out
of
traffic
areas.
The
process
of
optimizing
the
system
will
include
the
type
of
cable,
the
length
of
run
and
the
obstructions
it
must
deal
with
along
its
run.
Your
dealer
can
advise
you
on
the
products
available
and
their
relative
merits.
If
building
custom-
length
audio
cables
is
not
your
strength,
your
dealer
should
be
able
to
help
you
with
that
as
well.
If
you
would
like
to
utilize
the
bridging
option
which
converts
two
channels
in
order
to
create
a
more
powerful
single
channel,
see
the
ALTERNATE
SYSTEM
CONFIGURATIONS
section.
For
the
standard
configuration
of
one
channel
source
per
input,
most
of
the
planning
will
be
in
determining
which
input
you
wish
to
apply
to
which
channel.
A
typical
connection
diagram
is
shown
in
Fig.
3(a).
For
other
methods
of
setting
up
your
system,
see
the
section
ALTERNATE
SYSTEM
CONFIGURATIONS.
MAKING
THE
CONNECTION
1.
Before
doing
anything,
ensure
that
the
power
switch
on
the
amplifier's
front
panel
is
in
the
'off
position.
Again,
it
is
recommended
that
you
locate
a
separate
AC
power
outlet
for
the
amplifier,
one
that
is
not
shared
by
any
other
audio
component
in
the
system.
This
will
eliminate
the
possibility
of
the
amplifier
’modulating’
the
power
being
supplied
to
the
component
and
compromising
the
signal
originating
from
that
component.
2.
Locate
the
AC
power
supply
cord
and
plug
it
into
the
power
input
receptacle
in
the
rear
panel.
Do
not
connect
it
to
the
AC
power
supply
as
yet.
3.
Connect
the
audio
cables
from
your
preamplifier's
output
to
the
selected
channel's
input
connectors.
Make
note
of
the
input
number
(as
suggested
in
the
"Considerations"
section
above)
so
that
the
correct
speaker
cable
can
be
connected
to
the
speaker
output
with
the
same
number.
A
rear
panel
connection
guide
is
shown
in
Fig.
2(a).
4.
Connect
the
cables
from
your
speakers
to
the
appropriate
CHANNEL
output.
