Incorrect

will
produce
a
poor
stereo
image
and
an
apparent
lack
of
bass.

Make
sure
that
all
the
red

connectors
on
the
power
amplifier
speaker
outputs
are
connected
to
the
red

on
the
loudspeaker.
If
you
are
using
a
mix
of
amplifiers
or
speakers
from
different
manufacturers
or
using
amplifiers
in
‘bridge’
mode
then
it
is
possibie
that
the
phase
can
be
inter-
naily
reversed
in
some
amplifiers
or
speakers,
So
you
must
check
for
correct
phase
by
listening.
SYSTEM
EXAMPLES
The
917
can
be
used
at
the
heart
of
a
broad
range
of
surround
sound
systems.
Here
are
two
possible
sys-
tems
configurations;
one
basic
and
one
advanced.
A
SIMPLE
SET-UP
USING
THE
917.
This
system
uses
the
917
with
a
pair
of
stereo
power
amplifiers,
such
as
the
NAD
214
or
216,
and
connec-
tions
to
a
video,
CD,
cassette
deck
and
a
TV.
The
first
power
amplifier
is
connected
to
the
FRONT
outputs
and
the
second
stereo
power
amplifier
is
con-
nected
to
the
SURROUND
outputs.
Since
there
are
Surrounds,
such
as
the
NAD
805C,
but
no
Center
channel
speaker,
the
Rear
Panel
DOLBY
switches
are
set
to
4CH
and
PHANTOM.
The
CD
and
Cassette
deck
are
connected
to
CD
and
TAPE
1
(IN
&
OUT)
respectively.
The
VCR
machine
is
connected
to
VCR1
as
it
will
be
used
for
playback-only
through
the
system,
with
video
recording
from
the
VCR’s
internal
tuner.
The
TV's
Video
Line
Input
is
connected
to
MONITOR.

for
a
diagrammatic
lay-out
of
this
system.
A
MORE
COMPLEX
SET-UP
USING
THE
917.
This
set-up
uses
the
917
as
the
center-piece
of
a
sophisticated
Home
Theater
system.
As
well
as
the
standard
audio
sources,
this
system
has
also
a
VCR,
a
Laser
Disc
player
and
a
games
console
connected
as
A/V
sources.
The
output
of
the
917
goes
to
a
Home
Theater
six
channel
power
amplifier,
such
as
the
NAD
916,
which
is
driving
three
Front
channel
speakers,
the
Surround
speakers
and
a
Sub
Woofer.
The
Multi-Room
output
is
feeding
a
hi-fi
system
in
a
second
room,
which
uses
the
amplifiers
NAD-Link
to
send
remote
control
information
back
to
the
917.
The
six
channel
power
amplifier
is
connected
to
the
FRONT,
SURROUND,
CENTER
and
SUB
WOOFER
outputs.
Since
there
are
both
Surround
and.
Center
channel
speakers,
the
Rear
Panel
DOLBY
switches
are
set
to
4CH
and
NORMAL.
The
large
Sub
Woofer
being
used does
not
have
its
own
filter
circuits,
so
the
Sub
Woofer
switch
is
set
to
60Hz.
The
CD
and
Cassette
deck
are
connected
to
CD
and
TAPE
1
(IN
&
OUT)
respectively.
The
Laser
Disc
player
is
connected
to
the
LD
audio
and
video
inputs.
The
games
console,
which
requires
playback
only,
is
connected
to
the
VCR1
audio
and
video
inputs
The
VCR
machine
is
connected
to
VCR2
which
has
audio/video
INPUTS
and
OUTPUTS
to
enabie
recording
from
the
other
video
sources.
To
use
the
Multi
Room
facility,
the
MULTi
ROOM
.
OUT
is
connected
via
high
quality
phono
leads
to
the
Aux
Input
on
the
hi-fi
system
in
the
second
room.
The
NAD-Link
OUT
connector
on
the
second
hi-fi
amplifi-
er
is
connected
to
NAD-Link
IN
on
the
917
so
that
it
can
be
remotely
controlled
from
the
second
room.
The
TV's
Video
Line
Input
is
connected
to
MONITOR.
See
Figure
4
for
a
diagrammatic
lay-out
of
this
sys-
tem.
