your amplifier or receiver.
Labeling the front of the Speaker Selector
(See Diagram 4)
There is one set of adhesive labels included to be used on the front of the Speaker Selector. These labels make it easy to iden
-
tify which area has been selected when the button is depressed. There are indentations above each button on the front of the
Selector. Place the appropriate label into each of these locations. If you can't find the label you need, you can create your own by
writing on one of the blank labels using a pen or small marker.
OPERATION
Understanding the Protection Circuit
To prevent damage to your amplifier or receiver, the SS8P and SS4P feature protection circuitry. When engaged, the protection
feature prevents damage from occurring to your amplifier or receiver.
When to Use the Front Mounted Protection Button
The front Protection button
(See Diagram 5)
should be engaged under the following
circumstances to best protect your amplifier or receiver. Protection is ”ON” when the
button is depressed:
Speakers Selected
Front Protection Button
1 or 2 pairs of 8 Ω speakers
OFF
3 or more pairs of 8 Ω speakers
ON
1 pair of 4 Ω speakers
OFF
2 or more pairs of 4 Ω speakers
ON
A combination of 4 and 8 Ω speakers
ON
When to Use the Rear Mounted Protection Switch
On the back of the selector there is a slide switch labeled ”Continuous Protection”
(See Diagram 6)
. When this switch is in the ”ON” position, it will override the front
Protection button and assure that the protection circuitry is always on, no matter
what the position of the front button.
This switch should be placed in the ”ON” position if you are concerned that some
-
one unfamiliar with the system may fail to properly use the front protection button.
Selecting Speakers
To turn on a pair of speakers, simply depress the button associated with that pair. Please take precautions to make sure that the
amplifier volume is not set at a high level before you depress the button.
