1.4 Connecting Speakers to the NVP100-xx and NVP200-xx

The NVP100-xx and NXP200-xx zone players are equipped with "5-way" binding posts for connecting the amplified audio
signal to speakers. Speakers can be bookshelf, floor-standing, or installed in the wall or ceiling. 16 gauge speaker wire
is recommended for this purpose. The binding posts allow multiple methods for terminating the wire. The post can be
unscrewed to expose a hole for the speaker wire. After stripping about 1/4 inch of insulation from the inner conductor wire
, it can be inserted into the hole. Screw the post back in until it firmly secures the wire, as shown in Fig 7. An alternative
method is to terminate the speaker wire into "banana" plugs and insert those into the end of the binding posts, as shown
in Fig. 8. Spade, pin, and wrapping are alternative connection methods. Be careful to keep the positive and negative
speaker connections consistent at both ends. Crossing the left and right terminations will inhibit the audio quality from
the amplifier.

1.5 Connecting Speakers to the NVP3100-xx and NVP3500-xx

The P3100 and P3500 zone players have three separate zone "euro" style speaker connectors. The speaker wire is termi-
nated 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.
