Wiring Instructions (continued)
If using ALT-126R with a resistor-based speaker selector, place selector in Bypass mode and match
number of speakers with ALT-126R settings (see page 4).
If using ALT-126R with an autoformer-based selector, set selector for number of speakers and set
ALT-126R at 1X setting.
1. Connect the speaker cable from the amplifi er's outputs to the ALT-126R's 4-pole screw
down Input connector. Keep polarity (+ or -) and identifi cation (L or R) consistent.
CAUTION: Do not reverse the Input and Output connections!!
2. Connect the speaker cable from the ALT-126R's 4-pole screw down Output connector to a pair
of speakers. Keep polarity (+ or -) and identifi cation (L or R) consistent.
3. Install the completed assembly in the junction box. Insert carefully to avoid excessive strain
on the connector. Taking the time to feed the excess wire out the back of the junction box will
help you with the fi nal assembly.

Operation

1. Turn the amplifi er/receiver OFF and set its volume to minimum.
2. Set all the ALT-126R volume controls to maximum (fully clockwise).
3. Turn on the amp/receiver and select a music source (e.g., tuner or CD player).
4. Slowly turn up the amplifi er/receiver volume to the maximum desired listening level, and
leave the amp/receiver set at that level. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, the level
has reached the amplifi er's volume capability limit. Quickly reduce the volume to avoid
damaging the speakers. Never turn the receiver up beyond the comfortable listening level,
usually no more than 50%. NOTE: An amplifi er driven beyond its limit will produce D/C
voltage (clipping) resulting in improper signal transfer and possible amplifi er shutdown or
damage.
5. Adjust the volume of the speakers to the desired listening level using the ALT-126R.
6. Turn off the speakers in each room by turning the knob on the ALT-126R completely counter-
clockwise.
