Control Center

CONNECTIONS

Because of the way the control center divides the power from your
receiver/amplifier, it is important which speaker terminals you use for
each pair of speakers.

*  Connect your most used speakers to the control center's A terminals.

*  Connect your least used speakers to the control center's D terminals.

*  Connect other speakers to the B and C terminals.

*  Do not connect more than one pair of speakers to each set of terminals.

The power a particular pair of speakers receives can vary depending on
which other speakers you activate at the same time.

Use 2-conductor speaker wire to connect speakers to the control center's
terminals.  Be sure that you observe properly polarity.  (Connect the
speaker's positive (+) terminals to the control center's positive
terminals.  Connect negative (-) to negative, also.)  Most speaker wire
has one conductor marked with a stripe or ridge to make polarity matching
easier.

Use speaker wire to connect the control center's AMP terminals to your
receiver/amplifier's speaker terminals.  Again, be sure to observe proper
polarity.

Use 18-gauge speaker wire for most connections.  If you run a single pair
of wires more than 80 feet, use heavier gauge wire.

CAUTIONS:

*  Do not allow stray strands of wire to touch adjacent terminals.  This
   can damage your receiver/amplifier.

*  If your receiver/amplifier has A and B speaker connections, connect
   this control center to one set of terminals and do not use the other.
   Connect all of your speakers through the control center.

*  If you do not connect a pair of speakers to a set of the control
   center's terminals, set the corresponding IN/OUT switch to OUT.

*  Reduce the receiver/amplifier's volume setting before changing the
   control center's switch settings.
