Playing Two or More Speaker Pairs Simultaneously
1. Make sure both of the amplifiers are OFF and set the vol-
ume controls to minimum.
2. On the right side of the SVL-4AB's front panel is a button
labeled PROTECTION. This button activates the SVL-4AB's
impedance correction circuitry. The circuitry assures that both
of your receivers or amplifiers will see a safe operating load
when playing multiple speaker pairs simultaneously. Since
most receivers and amplifiers are not rated for use below a 4
ohm load, you will need to activate the PROTECTION button
whenever the overall system impedance might fall below 4
ohms. Use the following chart as a guide.
