Hooking Up

Unpacking

the Components
This chapter describes how to connect a Sony TA-E9000ES control amplifier, your speakers, and your other audio components to the power amplifier. Be sure to read this section before making any connections.
Check that you received the following items:
• Control A1 cable (1)
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all components before making any connections.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly to avoid hum and noise.
• When connecting an audio cord, be sure to match the color-coded pins to the appropriate jacks on the components: white (left) to white; and red (right) to red.
• When connecting the center channel, you can use either the red or white pins on the audio cord.

Notes on speaker system hookup
• Twist the stripped ends of the speaker cords about 10 mm.
speaker cord
This is a high output amplifier. Touching the stripped end of the speaker cords may result in injury. When connecting the speakers, be sure the stripped end of the speakers cord does not protrude from the speaker terminal.
Selecting the speaker impedance
Be sure to set the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE selector on the rear panel of the power amplifier to the top position when making normal connections to speakers with nominal impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, or when making BTL connections to speakers with nominal impedance of 8 to 16 ohms. Set the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE selector on the rear panel of the power amplifier to the bottom position when making normal connections to speakers with a nominal impedance greater than 8 ohms, or making BTL connections to speakers with a nominal impedance greater than 16 ohms. Setting the selector to the top position will decrease the power amplifier’s maximum output.
Hooking Up the Components
• Connect the right front and rear speakers to the FRONT and REAR SPEAKERS “R” terminals, connect the left front and rear speakers to the FRONT and REAR SPEAKERS “L” terminals. Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
• If you use front speakers that have a low maximum input rating, adjust the volume of the control amplifier carefully to avoid producing excessive output from this unit that may be harmful to the speakers.
• To obtain a higher power output when using speakers with a nominal impedance greater than 8 ohms, connect the speakers using BTL connections. When making BTL connections, refer to “BTL Connections Using Two Power Amplifiers” on page 10 for details.
• Set the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE selector on the rear panel according to the type of speakers you are connecting. See “Selecting the speaker impedance” on this page for details.
• When making normal (non-BTL) connections to your speakers, be sure the OPERATION selector on the rear panel of the power amplifier is set to “NORMAL”. When making BTL connections, set to “BTL”.
Note
Be sure to the power amplifier is turned off before you change the position of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE selector.

Normal Connections Using One Power Amplifier

Hooking Up the Components
Be sure the OPERATION selector on the rear panel is set to NORMAL. If you have a separate two channel (stereo) amplifier that you would also like to use with the front speakers, connect it to the EXTRA 2 CH INPUT jacks.

If you also want to make BTL connections to the center speaker
Use three power amplifiers. Make BTL connections between the center speaker and the third power amplifier using one set of FRONT SPEAKERS terminals. When making these connections, you should also connect a commercially available short plug to the other (unused) FRONT SPEAKERS terminals.
