Connecting a speaker system with a lower impedance than 4 ohm may activate the protection circuitry during sound reproduction. The output terminals are provided with the positive ( :Red) and negative ( : White) polarity, and the input terminal of each speaker system also has the polarity ( and ). Be sure to connect the terminals with the identical polarity. Caution: If you will be using two speaker systems, or you will be using the SM-17\ SA in BTL mode, use speaker systems that have an impedance of at least 8 ohm. If you connect a speaker system that has a\ n impedance of less than 8 ohm, the SM-17SA s protective circuitry may be worked, making the amplifier incapable of no\ rmal stereo playback. Connection of speaker cord CONNECTIONS The connection method illustrated below is used when the SM-17SA is being used as a stereo power amp. For details on other connection methods, refer to the examples on the fo\ llowing page.

ENGLISH 3 EXAMPLES OF USAGE The examples shown below illustrate a Marantz PM-17SA (pre-main amp) and an SM-17SA being used in combination for bi-amp drive of a speaker system that is compatible with bi-wiring. Example 1: Bi-amp connection with a PM-17SA + SM-17SA Set switch to COUPLED position.Set switch to BTL position. Set switch to -6(dB) position. Set switch to -6(dB) posi- tion. Set switch to BTL position. Set switch to COUPLED position. Set switch to NORMAL position. Set switch to 0(dB) position. Example 2: Bi-amp connection with a PM-17SA + two SM-17SAs This example uses two SM-17s, each in BTL operation mode. This setup ca\ n powerfully drive the speaker systems bass driver unit .
