6. Using the appropriate volume control on the front of the
SVL-4, adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired lis-
tening level.
7. You can turn off the speakers by turning the appropriate
volume control on the SVL-4 fully counter-clockwise or by
pressing the ON/OFF button.
Playing Two or More Speaker Pairs Simultaneously
1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set
the volume to minimum.
2. On the right side of the SVL-4's front panel is a button
labeled PROTECTION. This button activates the SVL-4's imped-
ance correction circuitry. The circuitry assures that your receiver
or amplifier will see a safe operating load when playing multi-
ple speaker pairs simultaneously. Since most receivers and
amplifiers are not rated for use below a 4 ohm load, you will
need to activate the PROTECTION button whenever the over-
all system impedance might fall below 4 ohms. Use the follow-
ing chart as a guide for setting the PROTECTION button.
