H S I Connector
OUSE PEAKER N
The component connected to the H
S I connector (see Figure 5 ) is
PEAKER N
the amplifier's default input signal that
is passed (unamplified) to the speakers
when no control trigger stimulus is
applied. Typically, this is the room's
speaker output from a whole-house
audio system.
The H S I connector uses a
OUSE PEAKER N
removable 4-wire quick connector that
accepts bare wire up to 14AWG. To
wire the connector see the sidebar in the next column.
L L I Jacks
OCAL INE N
If the local source component has a set
of Line Output jacks, use a stereo RCA
cable to connect them to the ASAP3D
jacks (see Figure 6 ).
SE's L L I
OCAL INE N
The signal at the Local Line In jacks will
be amplified and sent to the ASAP3D
SE's S O connector whenev-
PEAKER UTPUT
er the amplifier's automatic switching
is triggered (see Control Inputs/
Outputs , on page 7).
L S I Connector
OCAL PEAKER N
If the local source component does not
have a set of Line Output jacks, use
speaker wire to connect its Speaker
Outputs to the ASAP3D SE's L
S I connector (see Figure 7 ).
PEAKER N
The signal at the L S
OCAL PEAKER
nector will be amplified and sent to the
ASAP3D SE's S O
PEAKER UTPUT
whenever the amplifier's automatic
switching is triggered (see Control
Inputs/Outputs , on page 7).
The L S I connector uses a removable 4-wire
OCAL PEAKER N
quick connector that accepts bare wire up to 14AWG. To wire
the connector see the sidebar in the next column.

Wiring the Removable Quick Connectors
P O W E R
1. Mark each wire's positive ("+") and negative ("–")
,
leads and its channel (left or right).
2. Strip no more than
Twist the strands to ensure that there are no stray
strands. (Stray strands that touch other or touch the
amplifier chassis can cause a short-circuit that can
damage the amplifier.)
3. Inser t a small
screwdriver into
the slot on each
lever to open

chassis markings below the connector.
5. After making sure that there are no stray wire strands
touching each other, flip the levers down to lock the wires
in the terminals.
6. Press the removable connector into the rear-panel
connector until it locks into place.
• The removable connectors will only fit one way on
the amplifier.

PEAKER UTPUT
Connect the speakers in the local area
to the ASAP3D SE's Speaker Output
connector (see Figure 9 ). These speak-
ers will play whichever input source
the ASAP3D SE has switched ON (see
Control Inputs/Outputs , on page 7).
