8. REC/Z2: This output is a steady state line-level output. Connect this output to recording
equipment such as an audio tape deck or an A/D Converter recorder.
One may also connect this output to an auxiliary piece of audio equipment such as an
integrated amplifier for multi-zone operation. In such a case, use this output in conjunction
with the ZR3 remote control and IR IN. (refer to the IR IN section below).
9. SPEAKERS A: Connect speakers with impedance of 4 Ohms or greater. Connect the right
speaker to the terminals market 'R +' and 'R-' ensuring that the 'R+' is connected to the
'+' terminal on your loudspeaker and the 'R-' is connected to the loudspeaker's '-' terminal.
Connect the terminals marked 'L+' and 'L-' to the left speaker in the same way. When
using both SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B connect speakers of impedance 8 Ohms or
greater.
10. SPEAKERS B: Connect speakers with impedance of 4 Ohms or greater. Connect the right
speaker to the terminals market 'R +' and 'R-' ensuring that the 'R+' is connected to the
'+' terminal on your loudspeaker and the 'R-' is connected to the loudspeaker's '-' terminal.
Connect the terminals marked 'L+' and 'L-' to the left speaker in the same way. When
using both SPEAKERS A and SPEAKERS B connect speakers of impedance 8 Ohms or
greater.
NOTES: When connecting both SPEAKERS A and B, connect speakers with impedance no
less than 8 Ohms.
Always use heavy duty (16 gauge/2 square mm or thicker) stranded wire to connect
loudspeakers to your M3.
The high current binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables
terminating in spade or pin connectors or for cables with bare wire ends.
SPADE CONNECTORS (Figure 3)
These should be slotted under the terminal's screw bushing, which is then fully tightened.
Ensure the connector is tightly secured and there is no danger of bare metal from spade
connectors touching the back panel or another connector as this may cause damage.
BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS (Figure 3)
Bare wires and pin connectors should be inserted into the hole in the shaft of the terminal.
Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic bushing until the hole in the screw shaft is revealed.
Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the
terminal's bushing.
Avoid any danger of bare metal from the speaker cables touching the back panel or
another connector. Ensure that there is only 1/2" (1cm) of bare cable or pin and no loose
strands of speakers wire.
11. IR IN & IR OUT 2: Use these 3.5 mm mini-jack connectors to pass commands from other
units with similar IR (infrared) connectors. Daisy-chain other hi-fi system's IR outputs to the
M3's IR IN and then M3's IR OUT 2 to other hi-fi systems' IR inputs so that control of a
whole system via a single remote control facility is from one unit with a single IR
connection.
NOTES:
IR OUTPUT 1 is hard wired to the M3’s front panel IR sensor. Only Daisy-chain the IR IN with
IR OUT 2 when connecting the M3 as part of a series IR configuration.
Your custom installer or dealer can assist you in the proper setup and configuration of
infrared multi-room hi-fi systems.
