To make a connection, strip 3/8" of insulation from the end of the wire.
Twist the wire ends so that there are no frayed wires.
Push the tab and insert the wire into the correct input.
Connect wires from each of the loudspeakers to the corresponding output connection on the switcher.

Operation
Initial connection
For initial turn-on, it is recommended that only one loudspeaker pair be used. Select this loudspeaker pair and turn on your
receiver/amplifier. Ensure that sound is coming from both loudspeakers. If there is no sound, check your connections from your amplifi-
er/receiver and the loudspeaker connections.
Loudspeaker Selector Inputs
Engaging additional front panel controls (1-4 or 6 or 8) will allow the selected loudspeakers to function.
Single Pair Direct
When listening to a single pair of loudspeakers, especially at high listening levels, it is recommended that the Single Pair Direct
be turned ON.
Troubleshooting
Solution
Make sure the correct loudspeaker is selected
Make sure no wires are touching each other or the case of the amplifier or the
switcher
Normal – This is due to the additional resistance added to protect your amplifier
Reduce volume level
Turn unused loudspeakers off
If only one loudspeaker pair is used, turn the Single Pair Direct On.
Problem
No sound
Slight drop in volume when
PROTECTION is selected
Unit gets very hot

Installation Tips
18 or 16 gauge stranded loudspeaker wire is recommended. 14 gauge is recommended for runs longer than 50 feet.
You can mix any combination of 4, 6, 8 and 16 ohm loudspeakers
Wire according to local laws. Specific "CL" fire rating may be required according to your local building codes. Your dealer
may know more about obtaining such wire.
Avoid running close to AC power wiring for safety and to avoid the possibility of picking up any noise.

Connect the wires from the loudspeaker output of your receiver or amplifier to the terminals marked INPUTS on the TS8 (TS4、TS6).
Connect the "+" output from the right front output on the amplifier to the right "+" on the TS8 (TS4、TS6) and connect the "-" output from
your amplifier to the "-" input of the switcher. Likewise, connect the left channel wires to the left inputs. Ensure that the connections are
made correctly, as any improper connections will cause the loudspeakers to play out of phase.
