CONNECTION OF THE POWER CABLE
Check that the electricity supply to your home is appropriate to the device. The required voltage and fre-
quency can be read on the back of the device beside the socket for the mains. If the electricity supply is
appropriate, push the inlet connector of the supplied mains cable firmly into socket for the mains on the
back of the device (8). Connect the other end of the mains cable to a mains socket.
CONNECTION OF THE LOUDSPEAKERS
Either a single pair of loudspeakers or two speaker pairs can be connected to the main amplifier SP-994.
For each loudspeaker you will find two connector screws (positive + und negative –) at the amplifier's back-
side. One side of the speaker cable must be attached here. Each pair of screws has a label "R" or "L" near-
by to clarify to which stereo channel it belongs. At the loudspeaker connection terminal there are similar con-
nector screws or connectors. There, the polarity of each screw (+ or –) can be identified as well and the other
side of the speaker cable associated with this speaker must be attached. Make sure only connector screws
of the same polarity will be connected by each speaker cable wire: a knob marked "+" in the amplifier's
terminal must be connected with a speaker's connector screw marked "+" as well.
Our sketch shows all connections necessary for one pair of speakers. If a second pair of loudspeakers is
intended to be used, the connector screws of the lower row must be connected in a similar fashion to the
additional speakers' input connectors. However, this is only permitted if both loudspeakers have a nominal
impedance of at least 8 Ω!
SP-994
If every speaker is connected in a conventional way (a two core speaker cable for each loudspeaker) and
you own loudspeakers that are equipped with Bi-Wiring terminals (four connector screws) you have to
make sure that the metal brackets (contact pieces consisting of small metal plates or short pieces of cable
which are supplied with the speakers) are applied to the terminal and that each one connects the two
knobs of the same polarity (e.g. both connectors marked "+"). The connector screw labelled "+" and "R"
at the amplifier's backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "+" connectors of the loud-
speaker assigned to the right stereo channel. Accordingly, the connector screw labelled "–" and "R" at
the amplifier's backside must be connected to one of the bridged, labelled "–" connectors of the loud-
speaker assigned to the right stereo channel. Connect the left side loudspeaker in the corresponding way.
