To
use
~he
AUDiO WATI'S and SPEAKER SUB:
1.
Connect
the
speaker

to
the
SPBAKER
SUB
input
jack using one
of
thc
supplied audio
cables. Sinoe
most
reoeivers have aminiature

one
of
the
audio cables is supplied with aminiature

other
cable provides alligator

ronnection
to

2. Select arated speaker load using
the

a.
The internal
10

4, 8,
or
16

used, select
the
SPEAKER position on the SPEAKER

In
this position,
the
