More than 10 cm (4 in. ) Standby mode While the standby indicator is lit, a small amount of power is supplied to the system to back up the memory. Under the condition, the system can be turned ON by the remote control unit. CAUTION: If the unit is used in the U. S. A. or Canada, please read the supplement to the operating instruction entitled "Connection of speaker cords". Warning! Particular attention must be given to making good electrical contact at the amplifier-output and speaker terminals. Poor or loose connections can cause sparking or burning at the terminals because of the very high power that the amplifier can deliver. CAUTIONS: · Connect all cords firmly. If connections are loose, there could be loss of sound or noise produced. · Never attempt to connect two or more speaker cords to a single speaker terminal. · Never short-circuit the + and - speaker cords. · If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or if the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound becomes unnatural with ambiguous acoustic image positioning. Be sure to connect the speakers and speaker cords correctly. 3 EN 72-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 theater system). The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power output into each speaker.

Audio cord (supplied) Stereo mini-plug cord (supplied) For 12 V RELAY CONTROL, see page 7. 3 Connect the amplifier as shown in the diagram. 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. * In the case of 2 In the case of 6 ON : +12 V OFF : OPEN (or GND) To wall AC outlet Speakers (2-16) NC GND For RELAY CONTROL connection to VR-5900 or other compatible unit, see page 7. Left Right (R SURROUND BACK) (L SURROUND BACK) * If you connect more than one pair of speakers to the MX-5000, move the 2 (STEREO)/6 OVER (THX) switch to the 2 (STEREO) position. The amplifier's performance is not THX®-certified when the switch is set in the 2 (STEREO) position. 4 EN 7Mono (bridged, or BTL) configuration In this configuration, the MX-5000's two individual channels operate together to drive a single speaker (such as a subwoofer) in mono. This allows the amplifier to deliver more than double the power of one of its channels to the speaker. 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. 1 Make sure that the MX-5000's power cord is unplugged 2 According to the speakers to be used, set the speaker 3 Connect the amplifier as shown in the diagram. Note: Since bridged operation produces enough output power to pose a small risk of electrical shock from the speaker terminals, please attach the terminal cover as shown in the diagram below: impedance selector switch as follows: · For 6-16 speakers: Set the 2 (STEREO)/6 OVER switch to 6 OVER and 6 OVER/2 switch to 2. · Make sure to connect the audio input cable to the MONO/ BTL input.

To wall AC outlet 5 EN 72-Channel mono configuration In this configuration you can connect 2 speakers (such as 2 subwoofers) to the MX-5000 and send a single preamp signal (such as a mono subwoofer output) to both speakers without using a Yadapter. The amplifier delivers its rated stereo power output to each speaker. 1 Make sure that the MX-5000's power cord is unplugged 2 According to the speakers to be used, set the speaker impedance selector switch as follows: · For 2 speakers: Set the 2 (STEREO)/6 OVER switch to 2 (STEREO) and 6 OVER/2 switch to 2. · For 6-16 speakers: Set the 2 (STEREO)/6 OVER switch to 6 OVER and 6 OVER/2 switch to 6 OVER. · Make sure to connect the audio input cable to the MONO/BTL input. from the wall outlet before making any connections.
