Connect the audio cables from your preamplifier’s output to the corresponding
input connector on the amplifier.
Connect the wires from your speakers to the appropriate outputs on the
amplifier. It is absolutely essential that you observe correct polarity in these
connections.
Double check all connections.
Connect a playback unit (CD, VLD, Tuner, etc...) to the preamplifier. Turn the
volume on the preamplifier to minimum. Turn on the preamplifier, then the
amplifier (in that order). Set source on the preamplifier to the playback unit
you’ve just connected. Turn volume up slowly and music should be heard from
all channels. If this is not the case, double check your installation.
Should you encounter any problems that cannot be traced to the source or the
material being played, consult the “TROUBLESHOOTING” section on
page
10.
A control is provided on each AV5000 series
II
amplifier to allow remote switching of
mute on/off. The preamplifier’s control output, such as is provided with B&K series
preamplifiers, can be utilized to provide a control signal to the AV5000 series
II
. If more
than one amplifier is being controlled, the control signal can be extended to include
each successive unit by simply running an RCA type audio cable from the CTRL OUT
connector of the first amplifier to the CTRL IN connector of the next unit (commonly
referred to as ‘daisy chaining’). An example of how to connect two amplifiers is
illustrated in figure E.
