User manual HARMAN KARDON HK570I

[. . . ] Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. [. . . ] Sometimes the wires are different colors, one being copper red and the other silver. The differentiation is important because each speaker must be connected to the receiver's Speaker-Output terminals using two wires, one positive (+) and one negative (­). It's important to maintain the proper polarity for all speakers in the system. If some speakers have their negative terminals connected to the receiver's positive terminals, performance can suffer, especially for the low frequencies. Always connect the positive terminal on the loudspeaker, which is usually colored red, to the positive terminal on the receiver, also colored red. Similarly, always connect the black negative terminal on the speaker to the black negative terminal on the receiver. The HK570I uses binding-post speaker terminals that can accept banana plugs or bare-wire cables. Banana plugs are simply plugged into the hole in the middle of the terminal cap. See Figure 1. Figure 1 ­ Binding-Post Speaker Terminals With Banana Plugs + L R Subwoofer Figure 3 ­ Subwoofer Bare-wire cables are installed as follows (see Figure 2): 1. Unscrew the terminal cap until the pass-through hole in the collar is revealed. Insert the bare end of the wire into the hole. Don't plug in any of the power cords until you have finished making all of your connections. The receiver generates heat while it is on. Select a location that leaves several inches of space on all sides of the receiver. It is preferable to avoid completely enclosing the receiver inside a cabinet. It is also preferable to place components on separate shelves rather than directly on top of the receiver. Try to select a location with a sturdy surface finish. corresponding pair of main speakers is not being used, such as during muting, when headphones are being used, or when the speakers are turned off using the Speaker 1/2 switch. Consult the manufacturer's guide for the subwoofer for additional information. HK570I Step One ­ Connect the Speakers If you have not yet done so, place your speakers in the listening room as described in the Speaker Placement section. Connect the front left and right loudspeakers to the Speaker 1 speaker terminals on the HK570I. Maintain the proper polarity by always connecting the positive and negative terminals on each speaker to the positive and negative terminals on the receiver. You may place a second pair of speakers in another room, or in the same room for additional sound power, connecting those speakers to the Speaker 2 Outputs, and maintaining polarity. Use the Speaker 1/2 Selector on the front panel or remote to activate either or both pairs of speakers simultaneously. [. . . ] If your recorder does not have off-head playback, then you will not hear anything when you press the T-Mon Button, unless the recorder is being used for playback.
