3. Set the SVL-4AB volume controls which correspond to the
speaker pairs you wish to play to maximum (fully clockwise).
4. Locate the appropriate ON/OFF buttons on the SVL-4AB.
Set them to the ON position.
5. Adjacent to the ON/OFF buttons are the amplifier A/B but-
tons. Choose an amplifier for each active speaker pair by
pressing the A/B button in for “B” and out for “A”.
6. Turn on the amplifiers or receivers and select a source,
such as the tuner or CD player.
7. Slowly turn up each of the amplifiers or receivers volume
and set it to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be
careful not to overdrive or "clip" your amplifier. If the sound
becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of
your amplifier's volume capability and should quickly reduce
the volume to avoid damaging your speakers.
8. Using the appropriate volume controls on the front of the
SVL-4AB, adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired lis-
tening level. The volume control of your receiver or amplifier
acts as the master volume for all of your speaker pairs.
When playing the following speakers:
1 or 2 pair of 8-ohm speakers
3 or 4 pairs of 8-ohm speakers
1 pair of 4-ohm speakers
2, 3, or 4 pairs of 4-ohm speakers
Any combination of 4 and 8 ohm speakers

"TECH TIP"
The volume control
of your amplifier or
receiver acts as the
master volume for all
of your speaker
pairs. Set this control
to a comfortable (not
maximum)) listening
level. Be careful not
to overdrive or “clip”
your amplifier. If you
hear distortion from
your speakers
reduce the volume of
your amplifier to
avoid damaging your
speakers.
