Connecting the Speakers

See Figure 2

The RMB-1095 has five sets of color coded
binding posts. These

SPEAKER

CONNECTORS

ac-

cept bare wire, connector lugs, or dual ba-
nana type connectors (except in the European
Community countries where their use is not
permitted).

Route the wire from the RMB-1095 to the
speakers. Give yourself enough slack so you
can move the components enough to allow
access to the

SPEAKER

CONNECTORS

.

If you are using dual banana plugs, connect
them to the wires and then plug into the backs
of the

SPEAKER

CONNECTORS

. The collars of the

SPEAKER

CONNECTORS

should be screwed in all

the way (clockwise).

If you are using terminal lugs, connect them
to the wires. If you are attaching bare wires
directly to the

SPEAKER

CONNECTORS

, separate

the wire conductors and strip back the insu-
lation from the end of each conductor. Be care-
ful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew
(turn counterclockwise) the

SPEAKER

collars. Place the connector lug around

the shaft, or insert the bundled wire into the
hole in the shaft. Turn the collars clockwise
to clamp the connector lug or wire firmly in
place.

NOTE: Be sure there are no loose wire
strands that could touch adjacent wires or
connectors.

Troubleshooting

Most difficulties in audio systems are the re-
sult of poor or wrong connections, or improper
control settings. If you encounter problems,
isolate the area of the difficulty, check the con-
trol settings, determine the cause of the fault
and make the necessary changes. If you are
unable to get sound from the RMB-1095, re-
fer to the suggestions for the following con-
ditions:

Front Panel Power Indicator
Is Not Lit

No main power to the RMB-1095. Check the
front panel

POWER

SWITCH

. Make sure that it

is set to the

ON

position. Check AC power con-

nections at the amplifier and the AC outlet.

No Sound

If the amp is getting AC power, but is pro-
ducing no sound, check the

PROTECTION

IN

-

DICATORS

on the front panel. If lit, see below.

If not, check all of your connections and control
settings on associated components. Check the

INPUT

SELECTOR

SWITCH

on the RMB-1095 back

panel to be sure that its setting matches the
type of input you are using.

Protection Indicator Is Lit

The front panel

PROTECTION

INDICATORS

light

when the RMB-1095 protection circuits have
shut off the amplifier. Typically, this occurs only
when the ventilation openings are blocked,
when there is faulty speaker wiring, or after
a period of extreme use. Turn off the system
and wait for the amp to cool. Then push the
front panel

POWER

SWITCH

in and out to reset

the protection devices. If the problem is not
corrected or reoccurs, there is a problem with
the system or the amplifier itself.
