2. Stacking. Follow these steps if you are installing Models 1170, 1172, 1176 or other Audio Authority
stacking models with your 1156 or 1166. Disconnect power before performing these steps.
a. Lay the Model 1166 upside down on a protective surface, such as a terry cloth towel.
b. Remove the four feet and the bus port cover and save them and their attaching screws for later use.
c. Plug one end of the bus cable (purchased separately) into the port visible through the case open-
ing axxl eno gh x e e i h nge o a ooden o xla ic ool o a e ha he xl g i com-
pletely seated. This bus cable carries component video, digital audio, and analog audio signals from
the 1166/56 to the other products in the stack.
d. Turn the next product to be stacked upside down (e.g. Model 1170 or 1176), thread the bus cable
through its bus ports, and engage its four threaded studs with the four threaded holes in the Model
1166 formerly occupied by the feet.
e. Tighten the hex head screws in the bottom of the stacking product in sequence a few turns each, until
they are all snug.
f. Carefully plug the bus cable into the port. Continue this stacking
procedure until all units have been stacked. Always plug the last
connector of the bus into the bottom unit, pushing any excess cable
into the empty space inside the unit. View the bus through the bus
port to be sure all plugs are fully seated. To disconnect a bus plug,
squeeze the side latches.
g. Install the bus port cover and feet you removed from Model 1166
onto the bottom unit and turn the stack right side up.
h. Set the Address dial on each Model 1172 and/or 1176 (Model 1170
does not require addressing)–set the upper-most Model 1176 ad-
dress to “A”, the next one to “B”, and so on.
i. Temporarily plug in the power supplies of all units to a plug strip
so that you can turn them all on at one time. The opening screen
