MAKING
THE
CONNECTION
(oontd.)
5.
Double-check
the
cable
connections
(both
ends)
to
ensure
they
are
plugged
into
the
correct
jacks
for
the
source
(L
or
R
-
front,
rear
or
side)
and
that
the
connection
is
tight.
6.
With
the
volume
(gain)
control
on
your
preamplifier
set
to
full
minimum,
or
switched
to
'mute’,
plug
the
amplifier's
power
cord
into
the
AC
power
source.
Turn
the
amplifier's
power
switch
’on’.
The
panel
light
above
the
switch
should
be
illuminated.
7.
Place
all
level
controls
on
the
amplifier
at
maximum.
SETUP
AND
CHECKOUT
The
next
task
will
require
that
you
listen
to
a
source
sampling
(tape,
CD
etc.),
noting
the
levels
at
each
point
within
the
system.
During
the
initial
listening
situation,
you
may
find
the
dispersion
of
sound
to
be
unbalanced.
This
could
be
the
result
of
where
you
are
in
relation
to
the
speakers.
It
could
also
be
the
room
acoustics
or
the
manner
in
which
the
signal
is
being
distributed
in
the
stages
prior
to
the
amplifier.
The
amplifier
provides
you
with
level
controls
for
each
channel
so
you
can
adjust
the
relative
volume
of
each
channel
to
suit
your
personal
taste.
While
initial
audio
quality
will
be
very
good,
it
should
get
even
better.
Most
high
performance,
audio
amplifiers
require
about
40
hours
of
circuit
forming
('burn-in')
time
before
maximum
fidelity
will
be
fully
realized.
Helpful
Hint
:
Some
audiophiles
prefer
to
inaugurate
the
system
as
a
unit
(preamplifier,
cables
and
amplifier).
If
this
is
your
preference,
you
might
try
playing
a
CD
into
the
system
for
about
24
hours
straight
(speakers
connected),
at
a
tow
but
listenable
volume
level,
as
one
method
of
’forming’
the
components
and
signal
pathways.
Should
you
encounter
any
inconsistencies
that
cannot
be
traced
to
the
source
or
the
material
being
played,
consult
the
IN
CASE
OF
DIFFICULTY
section
in
this
manual.

CHANNEL
BRIDGING
Channels
1
&
2,
3
&
4
and
5
&
6
of
the
AV6000/654
are
available
for
bridging
in
order
to
provide
3
channels
capable
of
providing
200/120
watts
r.m.s.
into
an
8
Q
bad.
Similarly,
channels
1
&
2
and
4
&
5
of
the
AV5000
are
available
for
bridging
to
provide
2
channels
capable
of
providing
200
and
120
watts
r.m.s.
into
an
812
toad
respectively.
Due
to
the
relative
complexity
of
the
modification,
it
is
recommended
that
this
conversion
be
carried
out
by
your
dealer
s
technician
or
at
the
B
&
K
factory
in
order
to
comply
with
warranty
requirements.
For
more
information
on
bridging
the
amplifier,
please
contact
your
dealer
or
B
&
K
directly.
BIWIRING
Biwiring
has
the
potential
of
doing
away
with
much
of
the
’mud’
associated
with
processing
ail
incoming
frequencies
at
one
input
on
the
crossover
network.
As
a
result,
most
frequencies,
especially
the
bass,
will
appear
tighter
and
more
resilient.
The
mid
range
and
the
highs
will
be
clearer.
How
effectively
this
is
accomplished
will
vary
from
one
speaker
design
to
another.
