Ladies and Gents, no sniggering at the back please.
I'm hoping you can help. Have repossessed my (old old old) system after a few years and need to know the very basics to stop me blowing the thing up once re-connected. Real novice stuff, i have tried the FAQs (trust me) and the manuals are long lost.
Equipment - Marantz CD63SE CD player
- Rotel RC970BX Pre-amp. RB970BX Power (300W, 4ohm stereo/8 ohm bridged)
- TDL RTL3s (series? parallel?) speakers
Here goes - from the power amp (do i use the bridged mono or stereo setting?). Do i have to connect the speaker cables whereby the 'left channel' of each side of the cable goes to the left female red/black banana jack of the speaker? Or do i 'cross-over' the cables? See the image pls.
Are my CableTalk interconnects directional? I'm guessing not, but they do have arrows of sorts on them.
While i understand this is real basic stuff, i'm hoping you understand why i would ask the experts. Fingers (but not cables?) crossed.
Much obliged,
Gibbo
