Special Note on Z-150.6 SP Amplifier
Please use caution when connecting speakers to channel
5. Because of the layout of the Z-150.6 SP the positive and
negative terminals of channel 5 are reversed from the rest.
We find that some units left the factory with the terminal
colors wrong on CH5. The printing on the amp is correct
but still it can be confusing when the colors are different.
We have corrected this but please check you Z-150.6 SP
and note the correct positions.
