Operation
There are two ways to use the HPS-4/HPS-6. You may play one
pair of speakers at a time, or play multiple pairs simultaneously.
If you intend to play more than one pair of speakers at the
same time, you will need to become familiar with the opera-
tion of the PROTECTION button.
Playing One Pair of Speakers At a Time
1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set
the volume to minimum.
2. Locate the on/off button on the HPS-4/HPS-6 which corre-
sponds to the speaker pair you wish to play. Set it to the
ON position (Engaged).
3. Turn on the amplifier or receiver and select a source, such
as the tuner or CD player.
4. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it
to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be careful
not to overdrive or “clip” your amplifier. If the sound
becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit
of your amplifier's volume capability and should quickly
reduce the volume to avoid damaging your speakers.
5. To turn off the speaker pair, simply press the corresponding
on/off button on the HPS-4/HPS-6.
