Terminating Speaker Wires
Always observe proper orientation of the positive and negative signal for each speaker connection.
Typically, when using two-conductor speaker wire, the red wire indicates positive (+) and black wire indicates
negative (-). Another indication of positive is a dark line running through the insulation.
Four-conductor wire can also be used and makes for a neater installation. Four-conductor wire has four
separate wires in one outer jacket, making it possible to run a single speaker wire for a pair of zone speakers.
This type of wire typically uses red and black for one speaker and white as positive and green as negative for
the second speaker.
SPEAKERS SPEAKERS
Use 16 gauge speaker wire (4 conductor
stranded is suggested for neat installation)
Variable Outputs
Zone 9 and Zone 16 are equipped with a pre-amp variable output for use with an optional power amplifier
that allows you to deliver more power to the zone speakers. This is ideal for outdoor areas or a large living
room where more power and/or additional speakers are desirable.
To connect Zone 9 and/or Zone 16 to an optional power amplifier using a stereo patch cable:
1. Connect the power amplifier to the Hi-Fi
TM
2 Expansion Assembly by inserting a 3.5mm stereo connector
into the 3.5mm jack labeled “Line Out Zone 9” or “Line Out Zone 16”
(Leviton 62A14-1, 3.5mm male to 2 RCA male retractable patch cable may be used).
If your power amplifier is equipped with a voltage trigger that will turn on the amplifier when energized,
connect the voltage trigger of the power amplifier to the Hi-Fi 2 Main Assembly by inserting a 3.5mm
mono connector into the jack labeled “System Sys. On”. Refer to Hi-Fi 2 Installation Manual for additional
information and wiring diagram.

POWERING THE EXPANSION ASSEMBLY
The built-in power supply powers the entire Hi-Fi 2 Expansion Assembly which includes zone amplifiers and Volume-Source
Control keypads.
1. Insert the supplied IEC Power Cord into the power jack (the the left of Zone 9) under the section labeled “Power” on the
Hi-Fi 2 Expansion Assembly.
2. Plug the power cord into a 120 VAC outlet. Follow the instructions in the Hi-Fi 2 User’s Guide for operation.
