Speaker Wire Recommendations
For this setup,
use
a multi-stranded wiring designed for amplifi-
er
to
speaker connections. The gauge
of
wire used can have
an
impact on the performance
of
your speakers and we would rec-
ommend
that
you choose the largest wire size
that
is
practical for
your installation. Which gauge
to
select depends on the length
of
wire
to
be used on any particular speaker.
In
general the shorter
the run the smaller the wire size you
can
use, however you
can
never
go
wrong by using athicker gauge.

Setup
Rack Mounting
The unit comes with two mounting plates that can be used to
install
it in a rack.The feet can also be removed.
Individually Protected Circuitry
Each channel is individuallyprotected in case of ashort. This way,
if one channel stops working, the otherchannel willstill continue
to function normally. There are 2 LED lights on the front of the
amplifier that indicate the status of each channel. If an LED light
is blue, that means the channel is functioning normally. If it's red,
that means there's an issue and may require attention. And if the
lightis off, then that channel isn'tcurrently functioning or in use.

Troubleshooting
If possible, it's often good
to
try
to
isolate the problem first. For
example,
if
you're playing a
DVD
on a television and there's no
sound,
try
connecting
an
MP3
player
to
the system
to
see
if
that
works. If
it
does work,then the problem
is
withthetelevision,
DVD
player,
or
the cables connectingthem. If
it
doesn'twork, the prob-
lem
will
be with the amplifier, speakers,
or
those cables.
Problem
Possible
Cause
The volume may
be
turned down
or
muted. Check
the volume settings on both the amplifier and the
television/computer/CO player/etc.
.,
Make sure the proper source
is
selected on the am-
c
plifier
or
receiver.

be
damaged
or
plugged into

input
or
output.
Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the
speakers.
Make
sure they're connected properly and
not
damaged in any way.
Ifyou hear something like static,

cut-
ting in and out, check the audio cables. Ifthe prob-
