IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Read all of these instructions before you operate and save instructions for later use.
1.Read Instructions - all the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2.Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3.Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4.Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5.Water and MoistureThe appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
6.Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7.Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
8.Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
10.Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
11.Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A.Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
B.The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
C.The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
D.The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
12.Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Sonance Speaker Selector System. You have purchased one of the highest performance speaker switching devices available, carefully designed to give you years of trouble-free operation. Connection to your system is very simple. Please invest a few minutes to read the complete instructions, before beginning your wiring to assure the highest quality sound from your system.
UNPACKING
Save your carton and the styrofoam inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit ever requires shipping for repair.
Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel of the unit and note it here for future reference.

SS4VC/SS6VC BASIC CONCEPT
The SS4VC and SS6VC are designed to connect four and six pairs of loudspeakers, respectively, to one receiver or amplifier. Each pair of speakers can be independently turned on/off. The volume control knobs give you independent volume control in all speaker locations. These systems provide impedance protection whenever its protection circuit is manually engaged by the user. When engaged, the SS4VC and SS6VC adjust the impedance load presented to the receiver or amplifier. With most amplifiers, when multiple speakers are engaged, the protection switch should be engaged. With high amplifier volume, your SS4VC and SS6VC switcher may become warm. Do not operate your system below the impedance rating of the receiver, amplifier, or the switcher. Check the owner’s manual of your receiver or amplifier. Do not exceed the 75Watt RMS rating of the SS4VC/SS6VC.
USING THE PROTECTION SWITCH
As a general rule, the more speaker pairs you have on, the more the protection circuitry will be needed. Leaving the Protection switch always engaged (“on” position) will provide the safest operating condition for your receiver or amplifier. For most receivers or amplifiers, the Protection switch should be engaged when more than one Speaker button is engaged on the SS4VC and SS6VC switchers. Failure to engage the Protection switch when multiple pairs of speakers are engaged may cause damage to your receiver or amplifier. The protection switch is located on the back of the SS4VC and SS6VC switchers. Slide the red switch towards the left to engage the 3Ω protection resistors. Slide the red switch towards the right to disengage the resistors and turn off the protection circuit.
NOTE: When protection circuitry is engaged, there may be a slight, but perceivable loss of volume in the speakers that are engaged. This is simply the trade-off for using resistive protection instead of individual amp channels for each speaker pair or an impedance matching device such as the Sonance AF8. Use dedicated amplifiers if you require more dynamic range.
CUSTOM BUTTON LABELS
Sonance makes multi-room sound distribution even more userfriendly by including Custom Button Labels (Sonance PN. 33-1468). You can customize your SS4VC or SS6VC with a label for each button that corresponds with the room or area in which you have a pair of speakers playing. One sheet of button labels contains 120 pressuresensitive labels, each with a 3 to 7-letter abbreviation for nearly every room or area likely to be encountered in your installation. Each label fits the dimensions of the indentations under the buttons on your SS4VC and SS6VC. A legend of the rooms or areas is included in the package for easy reference. Consult your Authorized Sonance Dealer for more information.
