Note:
After connecting all cables, perform a cabling test.
Attention
Incorrect cabling may damage the speakers.
When performing the test, activate the high-frequency outputs first. If the cabling is incorrect, high-
frequency audio signals will be produced by the bass speakers that cannot get damaged this way.
If you activate the low-frequency outputs first, and the cabling is incorrect, low-frequency audio signals
can seriously damage your high-frequency speakers.
To perform the test, follow the steps below:
01)
Press all mute buttons under the output LED indicators (06), to mute all outputs.
02)
Activate the outputs.
