II.  CONNECTIONS

(In  the  case  of  stereo) 

Unwind  the  screws  of  the  terminals  marked  Right  Speaker  and  Left 

Speaker  as  shown  in  Diagram 

1, 

then  attach  the  ends  of  the  Speaker 

cords  to  them  and  tighten.  You  need  not  be  concerned  about 

( +) 

and 

(- ). 

Next,  set  the  IMP  SELECT  switch  to  the  impedance  that 

corresponds  to  the  impedance  of  the  speaker  (the  impedance  is  marked 
on  the  speaker  cabinet,  e.g., 

ohm  or 

16 

ohm)  as  in  the  table  below: 

Speaker  Impedance 

Position  of  Imp  Select  Switch 

4-

ohms 

9- 16 

ohms 

16 

ohms 

Check  to  make  sure  the  end  of  the  cord  is  not  touching  the  next 

terminal. 

(In  the  case  of  speakers) 

When  the  speakers  are  set  far  apart  in  a  large  room,  the  sound  level 
at  the  center  tends  to  fall  off.  In  this  case,  we  suggest  you  add  another 
speaker  midway  between  the  two,  making  the  connections  as  shown  in 

Diagram 

2. 

By  supplementing  the  volume  in  this  way,  you  can  enjoy 

a  very  natural  sterephonic  reproduction.

If  you  decide  to  use  three  speakers,  first  adjust  the  phasing  of  the 

left  and  right  speakers  without  connecting  the  middle  speaker. 

See 

section  on  Pointers  for  how  to  phase)  When  the  speaker  phase  switch 

is  set  at  the  red  mark  position,  connect  the  third  speaker  to  the 

( +) 

and 

(

-

)  terminals  of  the  left  and  right  speakers,  respectively. 

If  the 

Speaker  Phase  switch  is  set  at  the  other  position,  connect  the  third 
speaker  to  the 

( +) 

terminals  of  the  left  and  right  speakers. 

NOTE: 

(1) 

The  potentiometer  of 

50- 100 

ohms  is  for  adjusting  the  volume  of 

the  central  speaker  so  that  it  will  be  uniform  with  the  other  two 
speakers.
