Simplifying connections to your Wave

While the connectors are in slightly different locations on the back of the two different pedes­tals, both provide the same connection options. They include three RCA input jacks and three
power outlet plugs on the rear panel. There is also a slot through which the Wave
power cord passes to reach a wall outlet. The two additional power jacks on the pedestal are
for plugging in added components. Or you may choose to connect the Wave
plug to one of those pedestal jacks, as shown in Figure 2 on page 5.

added components.
