Audio Connections
CAUTION: Before connecting anything make
sure the Power
5
and all your other electronic
components are turned off.
Use the highest quality connectors you can afford. Keep
all your wires as short as possible and routed neatly to
minimize noise problems.
To minimize noise problems, try to segregate wires by
function, and separate them by the maximum practical
distance. Where audio wires and AC power cords inter-
sect, cross them at right angles.
The Power5 has five inputs. It’s best before you set up
your system to decide what channels are used for what
speakers. Here’s a typical 5 channel configuration:
Channel 1 -------- Left Front
Channel 2 -------- Left Surround
Channel 3 -------- Center
Channel 4 -------- Right Surround
Channel 5 -------- Right Front
When connected to the NHT Controller and are using the
NHT Bus, you need to use this configuration. This is due
to the fact that when the controller senses 2- channel
source material, it switches the Power5’s middle 3 chan-
nels to standby mode. NOTE: See section: Connections
