The table below illustrates the direct correlation between the audio inputs and the speaker outputs in Stereo Mode:

Connecting Speakers in Bridge Mode

In Bridge Mode, both channels in a Zone are connected to a single speaker, via the positive ("+") pins for both output

channels (labeled "BTL", as shown in FIG. 9):

The table below illustrates the direct correlation between the audio inputs and the speaker outputs in Bridge Mode:

When connecting a speaker to a "bridged" input, verify that the Stereo/Bridge

(SE/BTL) mode switch for the associated Zone (see FIG. 6 on page 7) is set to "BTL".

FIG. 9 Bridged Output Mode

In Bridge Mode, one speaker connects

L/R Bridged

to the "+" pins for each Zone

Zone 1 Outputs (CH1/CH2)

Bridged Speaker Wiring - INCORRECT

USE CLASS 2

WIRING

If incorrect wiring is used there is a risk of electrical shock and a fire hazard.
