signal into multiple zones. These models include amanually activated impedance protection circuit that can be turned
ON to prevent the impedance presented to your receiver from dropping below an unsafe level of 5 Ohms, regardless
of the number and impedance ratings of your speakers. The protecting switch canalso be turned owhen used as
part of a plannedsystem of impedance matching volume controls, allowing you to get r .

AVX volume controls that are built to work with this speaker selector with impedance protection and without impedance protection.
AVX-1300 does not have impedance protection and therefore the impedance protection switch on the speaker selector should be ON.
AVX-1302 and AVX-1304 volume controls have built in impedance protection and therefore the impedance protection switch on the
speaker selector should be OFF.
