1. Front FL FR Video Connections Composite Types of Connections This section will briefly review different types of cables and connections that you may use to set up your system speaker Connections speaker cables carry an amplified signal from the receiver s speaker terminals to each loudspeaker Speaker cables contain two wire conduc tors or leads inside plastic insulation The two conductors are usually differentiated in some way by using different colors or stripes or even by adding a ridge to the insulation Sometimes the actual wires are different one being copper red and the other silver The differentiation is important because each speaker must be connected to the receiver s Speaker Output terminals using two wires one positive and one negative This is called speaker polarity It s important to maintain the proper polarity for all soeakers in the system If some speakers have their negative terminals connected to the receiver s posi tive terminals performance can suffer especially for the low frequencies Always connect the positive terminal on the loudspeaker which is usually colored red to the positive terminal on the receiver also colored red similarly always connect the black negative terminal on the speaker to the black negative terminal on the receiver The HK 3485 uses binding post speaker terminals that can accept banana plugs or bare wire cables Banana plugs are simply plugged

You may also adjust the balance to compensate for speaker placement or the acoustic characteristics of your listening room Ideally the audio should be heard most clearly at a point exactly midway between the left and right speakers unless the artist has mixed the recording in a way that pans sounds to one side or the other If your speakers are not placed the same distance from the listening position or if your room has other unusual characteristics turn the Balance Control knob on the front panel counterclockwise to move the sound toward the left speaker or clockwise to move the sound toward the right speaker See Figure 30 a Figure 30 Balance Control The Balance Control reduces the level of the speaker opposite the pointer For example turning the knob from the midpoint toward R reduces the level of the left speaker leaving the right speaker unaffected lf two pairs of speakers are connected to the HK 3485 then both will be affected Headphones Plug the 1 4 plug on a pair of headphones into the headphone jack on the front of the receiver for private listening See Figure 31 Sawer Figure 31 Headphone Jack Speaker 1 2 The HK 3485 may be used with up to two pairs of speakers for addi tional Sound power in the main listening room or if you wish to place the second pair of speakers in another room or even outdoors when you select weather resistant loudspeakers Select each pair of speakers by pres
