Output Connections
The AV brick amplifiers connect to speakers using a 4-position Phoenix con-
nector. Speaker connections are run from the amplifier to the speakers. Unplug
the connector from the rear of the receiver, strip the speaker wire approxi-
mately 1/4” and insert the bare end into the gate on the connector. Use a small,
flat blade screwdriver to tighten the connection to each conductor. Connectors
accommodate up to 12 gauge wire.
Make sure to observe polarity as you hold the connector upside down to
connect Left and Right as shown. Two guide tabs also insure proper orien-
tation.
•
As a precaution, insure that the power switch on the amplifier’s back panel is
in the ‘off’ position and AC power is disconnected before making any con-
nections.
•
Connect the audio cables from the preamplifier’s audio outputs to the ampli-
fier input channels using RCA interconnects.
•
Connect all common controls if using a trigger from the preamplifier to the
amplifier.
•
Connect all RJ-45 connections if connecting more than one brick amplifier.
•
Connect the wires from your speakers to the appropriate output channels on
the amplifier. It is essential that correct polarity is observed in all connections.
•
Double-check all connections.
•
Locate the AC power cord provided with the amplifier and plug it into the
power input receptacle in the rear panel. Make sure the back panel power
switch is off.
Do not connect to the AC power until speaker connections are complete!
•
Turn on the preamplifier and then turn on the amplifier using the power
switch on the back panel (in this order). Set the source on the preamplifier to
the source input that is connected. Turn the volume up slowly on the amplifier
and listen for music from all channels.
