[. . . ] ALCHEMIST 8 PRODUCT EIGHT 5 CHANNEL I N S T RU C T I O N MANUAL POSITIONING The Product 8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is a class A/B type device, and as such it will need to dissipate a little heat. [. . . ] If you are using the bare wire method make sure that all the strands of cable are securely within the binding post before you switch on your amplifier. The Red terminal is for your positive (+) connection and the BLACK terminal is for your negative (-) connection. If you fail to observe this pattern your system may result in an `out of phase' condition, giving you poor results in sound quality. LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTION (. . . cont. ) You have to make sure the audio inputs from your Audio/Video sound processor are connected to the right channel outputs, i. e. the `Left Front' signal output from your sound processor is connected to the `Left front' audio input on the Product 8 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier and the `Left Front' speaker is connected to the `Left Front' loudspeaker output. Otherwise the wrong signal will feed into the wrong loudspeaker.
