Fisher RS-2010 - Headphones and Remote Speakers; Stereo Headphone Usage; Connecting Remote Extension Speakers

HEADPHONES AND REMOTE SPEAKERS
WARNING:
If you are not sure whether each of your remote speakers can safely handle the maximum audio-power output per channel
of your receiver, do not turn your receiver’s VOLUME control up too high.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR SPEAKERS!
STEREO HEADPHONES
For private listening to all program sources, you may plug a
pair of stereo headphones into the PHONES jack on the
control panel. When using the headphones for the first time,
turn the VOLUME control to MIN and set the SPEAKERS
switch to PHONES before plugging in the phones.
Readjust the VOLUME control for comfortable headphone
listening level and use this setting for future reference.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the headphones plugged in when playing the
speakers at high volume levels. The large amounts of audio
power required by the speakers at these levels can overload
and damage the headphones.
STEREO REMOTE SPEAKERS
The receiver’s B or C speaker terminals on the rear of the unit
provide convenient means for connecting a pair of remote
extension speakers. This arrangement will enable you to en¬
joy stereo sound in other rooms of your home whenever you
set the SPEAKERS switch to B, C or A+B.
CAUTION:
Before connecting your B or C speakers, check their rated
impedance and the impedance of your A speakers as well.
If each speaker is rated at 8 or 16 ohms, you may safely
connect your B or C speakers as described in the following
instructions. In the rare event that the A or B speaker is rated
at 4 ohms, have a technician add a 2-ohm, 10-watt resistor
in series with that speaker. Failure to observe this precaution
may cause overload and distortion when you play the A plus
B speakers simultaneously at high volume levels. (Only in A+B
position of the SPEAKERS switch.)
1) Turn off the receiver and disconnect its power cord from
the electrical outlet.
2) Place your B or C speakers 5 to 10 feet apart, facing your
listening position, and as close as possible to ear level.
Connect both speakers exactly as shown in the illustration
(each speaker’s COM, GND, or black terminal to its corre¬
sponding COM terminal on the receiver). Use either the
cables supplied with the speakers or, for distances up to 30
feet, No. 18 lamp cord or flat TV twin-lead. For longer
distances, use heavy-duty cable (at least No. 16). Make
sure that the bare wires at the ends of the cables do not
touch each other, adjacent terminals, or the receiver’s
chassis.
Reconnect the power cord and set the SPEAKERS switch,
as desired. Adjust all other receiver controls in the usual
manner.
