Switcher Instruction Manual
Congratulations on the purchase of your Theater Solutions TS8 (TS4、TS6) loudspeaker
switcher.
When used with your current audio/home-theatre system, the TS8 (TS4、TS6) will allow you
to add up to 8 pairs of loudspeakers, while providing protection for your amplifier/receiver.
The TS8 (TS4、TS6) was manufactured with high quality components and engineered to
provide you with many years of trouble free listening enjoyment.
Though easy to install, we recommend that you read carefully through this instruction
manual and save your bill of sale in the unlikely event that your loudspeaker switcher
requires servicing.
Adding additional loudspeakers around your home is now simple, thanks to the Theater
Solutions loudspeaker selector. The TS8 (TS4、TS6) has been designed to let you turn on or
off any combination of up to 8 pairs of loudspeakers without purchasing additional amplifiers.
Safety Instructions
• We recommend that the amplifier/receiver be
turned OFF while making any connections.
• Do not use wherever there is a risk that the
switcher may come into contact with water or
excessive moisture, such as near pools, bathtubs
and wet basements.
• In the event of a malfunction, do not attempt to
service the product yourself. Please contact
Theater Solutions.

Engaged
Connect the wires from the loudspeaker output of your receiver or amplifier to the terminals marked INPUTS on the TS8 (TS4、TS6).
Connect the "+" output from the right front output on the amplifier to the right "+" on the TS8 (TS4、TS6) and connect the "-" output from
your amplifier to the "-" input of the switcher. Likewise, connect the left channel wires to the left inputs. Ensure that the connections are
made correctly, as any improper connections will cause the loudspeakers to play out of phase.
Connect wires from each of the loudspeakers to the corresponding output connection on the switcher.
Operation
Initial connection
For initial turn-on, it is recommended that only one loudspeaker pair be used. Select this loudspeaker pair and turn on your
receiver/amplifier. Ensure that sound is coming from both loudspeakers. If there is no sound, check your connections from your amplifier/receiver and the loudspeaker connections.
Loudspeaker Selector Inputs
Engaging additional front panel controls (1-4 or 6 or 8) will allow the selected loudspeakers to function.
Single Pair Direct
When listening to a single pair of loudspeakers, especially at high listening levels, it is recommended that the Single Pair Direct
be turned ON.
