Run all speaker wiring (16 gauge is recommended) and control wiring (Cat5)* to the DLA2/4/6.
Be sure to label the wires for easy identification.
s
Place the DLA2/4/6 in the same equipment location as the Receiver/Amplifier.
s
Turn off all power to the Receiver/Amplifier and make sure the DLA2/4/6 power supply is unplugged!
s
Strip approximately 3/8" of insulation from the ends of all speaker and control wiring.
Twist the exposed end of each speaker wire to ensure that no loose strands remain.
* If applicable. Cat5 is used for touch pad and IR receiver wiring.

WARNING! Do not connect speakers to the DLA2/4/6 that have an impedance value lower than what is supported
by your receiver/amplifier. In doing so, you run the risk of overheating and damaging both the DLA2/4/6 and your
receiver/amplifier! Consult speaker and receiver/amplifier manuals for their specific impedance ratings.
If using a Receiver with "A/B" speaker outputs:

NOTE: When using the "A+B" setting, the receiver volume will need to be adjusted accordingly.
When the DLA2/4/6 is not in use, turn off the "B" speakers and turn on
the "A" speakers for normal stereo/surround sound listening.
