Speaker Connection
NOTE: The following text describes both binding post and plug-in
connections. DO NOT use both connection methods in combination
to connect multiple speakers.
Turn off all the components in the system before connecting the speakers.
The unit has color-coded binding post type speaker connectors on the
back panel (except in European Community countries where their use
is not permitted). These connectors accept bare wire, connector lugs, or
dual banana type connectors.
Route the wire from the unit to the speakers. Give yourself enough slack so
you can move the components to allow access to the speaker connectors.
If you are using dual banana plugs, connect them to the wires and then
plug into the backs of the binding posts. The thumbscrews of the binding
posts should be screwed in all the way (clockwise).
If you are using terminal lugs, connect them to the wires. If you are
attaching bare wires directly to the binding posts, separate the wire
conductors and strip the insulation from the end of each conductor. Be
careful not to cut into the wire strands. Unscrew (turn counterclockwise)
the binding post thumbscrews. Place the connector lug or wire around
the binding post shaft. Turn the thumbscrews clockwise to clamp the
connector lug or wire firmly in place.
NOTE: Be sure there are no loose wire strands that could touch
adjacent wires or connectors.
IR Remote Sensor 4
This remote sensor window receives IR commands from the remote
control. Please do not block this sensor.
Headphone Output
The headphone output allows you to connect headphones for private
listening. This output accepts a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") mini stereo
headphone connector. Plugging in a set of headphones does not cut
off the signal to the outputs.
NOTE: Because the sensitivity of speakers and headphones can
vary widely, always reduce the volume level before connecting or
disconnecting headphones.
Power Control 0
When the slider is set to the ON position, the A10MKII will be configured
to automatically power off to standby mode if there is no audio signal
for 20 minutes. The auto power off timer will be restarted if changes are
made to the volume, source or playback.
To disable above function, push the slider to the OFF position.

completely mute the volume.
Balance Control 5
The Balance Control adjusts the left-to-right balance of the sound
output. Normally the control should be left in the center position. In
some situations, typically when the main listening position is not ideally
centered between the speakers, it may be necessary to adjust the control
to achieve proper left-to-right balance. Turning the Balance rotary knob

to decrease the bass or treble output.
A properly setup high-performance audio system produces the most
natural sound with little or no adjustment of the tone controls. Use these
controls sparingly. Be particularly careful when turning the controls up
(clockwise). This increases the power output in the bass or treble range,
increasing the load on the amplifier and speakers.
NOTE: The Bass and Treble controls circuits are bypassed to ensure
the purest possible sound, which is defaulted. Turn the Bass / Treble
rotary knob if you want to adjust the Controls.

Protection Circuit
The unit has both thermal and over-current protection circuitry that
protects the amplifier against damage in the event of extreme or faulty
operating conditions. The protection circuits are independent of the audio
signal and have no impact on sonic performance. Instead, the protection
circuits monitor the temperature of the output devices and shut down
the amplifier if temperatures exceed safe limits.
