2-Channel stereo configuration
This is the ‘standard’ stereo operation mode, with the amplifier
driving 2 speakers in stereo (such as the Surround Back Left and
Surround Back Right speakers in a THX Surround EX
® home the-
ater system). The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power out-
put into each speaker.
1
Make sure that the MX-5000’s power cord is unplugged
from the wall outlet before making any connections.
2
According to the speakers to be used, set the speaker
impedance selector switch as follows:
• For 2
Ω speakers: Set the 2Ω (STEREO)/6Ω OVER switch
to 2 Ω (STEREO) and 6Ω OVER/2Ω switch to 2Ω.
• For 6-16 Ω speakers: Set the 2Ω (STEREO)/6Ω OVER
switch to 6 Ω OVER and 6Ω OVER/2Ω switch to 6Ω OVER.
3
Connect the amplifier as shown in the diagram.
* If you connect more than one pair of speakers to the MX-5000, move the 2 Ω (STEREO)/6Ω OVER (THX) switch to the 2Ω (STEREO)
position. The amplifier’s performance is not THX ® -certified when the switch is set in the 2 Ω (STEREO) position.
Now you can plug the power cord of this
unit into the AC outlet!
CAUTION:
Before reconnecting a speaker cord or switching a
selector switch, turn OFF the power and unplug the
power cord to avoid malfunctions or damage to the
unit.
