2-Channel stereo configuration
This is the ‘standard’ stereo operation mode, with the amplifier
driving 2 speakers in stereo (such as the Surround Back Left and
Surround Back Right speakers in a THX Surround EX
®
home the-
ater system). The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power out-
put into each speaker.
1
Make sure that the MX-5000’s power cord is unplugged
from the wall outlet before making any connections.

According to the speakers to be used, set the speaker
impedance selector switch as follows:
• For 2
Ω
speakers: Set the 2

OVER switch
to 2

OVER/2
Ω
switch to 2

.
• For 6-16
Ω
speakers: Set the 2
Ω
(STEREO)/6
Ω
OVER
switch to 6
Ω
OVER and 6
Ω
OVER/2
Ω
switch to 6

Connect the amplifier as shown in the diagram.
* If you connect more than one pair of speakers to the MX-5000, move the
2
Ω
(STEREO)/6
Ω
OVER (THX)
switch to the
2

(STEREO)
position. The amplifier’s performance is not THX
®
