1.5 Connecting Speakers to the P100 and P200 Zone Players
The P100 and P200 zone players are equipped with "5-way" binding posts for connecting the amplified audio signal to speakers. These can be bookshelf, floor standing, or
installed in the wall or ceiling. 16 gauge speaker wire is recommended for this purpose. The binding posts provide two different methods for terminating the wire. The post
can be unscrewed to expose a hole for the speaker wire. Strip about 1/4 inch of insulation from the inner conductor wire and insert it into the hole. Screw the post back in until
it firmly secures the wire, as shown in fig 7. The alternative method is to terminate the speaker wire into "banana" plugs and insert that into the end of the binding posts, as
shown in fig. 8. Be careful to keep the positive and negative speaker connections consistent at both ends. Crossing the left and right terminations will in-
hibit the audio quality from the amplifier.

1.6 Connecting Speakers to the P3100 Zone Player
The P3100 zone player has three separate zone "euro" style speaker connectors. The speaker wire is terminated into this modular plug and then inserted into the appropriate
zone output on the back panel of the P3100, as shown in fig. 9. It is only necessary to strip about 1/8 inch of the insulation from the inner conductor for these
plugs. Be careful not to let the exposed speaker wires touch. This will short the connection and could damage the amplifier.
