the ac mains connector and an electrical outlet. One IEC-standard AC
mains receptacle labeled ~ ac mains is available.
Before operating the Nº51, make sure the voltage label near the ~ac mains
connector indicates an operating voltage that is compatible with the
voltage at the electrical outlet.
2. 6-channel
analog output

labeled R (right front), RS (right surround), C (center), S (subwoofer), LS
(left surround), and L (left front).
