STANDARD CONNECTIONS
Standard connections are made as shown
in Figure 17 (above).
To make standard connections:
1. Leave the shorting-straps in place.
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the S12 input connectors. Then, con-
nect the same pair of loudspeaker wires
to the desired power amplifier outputs.
Note
In addition to the polarity symbols under-
neath the terminals, the binding posts also
have red (positive) and black (negative)
inserts to indicate polarity. Be sure to
observe proper polarity, especially when
inverting the right side speaker(s), to
ensure proper connections. In Figures 18
and 19 the polarity of the input connec-
tors are all labeled for clarity.
DUAL-SPEAKER MODE
CONNECTIONS
Dual-speaker mode connections are made
as shown in Figure 18 (below) and 19 (next
page).
To make dual-speaker mode connections
when a single S12 is used as discrete
left/right rear loudspeakers:
1. Remove the shorting-straps.
2. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the top set of input connectors.
Then, connect the same pair of loud-
speaker wires to the left rear amplifier
output.
3. Connect one pair of loudspeaker wires
to the bottom set of input connectors.
Then connect the same pair of loud-
speaker wires to the right rear amplifier
output as shown in Figure 18 (below).
Note
Set the Surround Mode Configuration
control to Bipole for proper operation.
CAUTION
Failure to remove the shorting straps
may damage the associated power
amplifier.
