Correct way to wire a duplex?

It wouldn’t seem it is necessary due to the current draw differences but I am not an electrician. Thanks for any advice you can provide me.

Hi Dave,

Probably an electrician will tell you that it should not be an issue but my understanding is that audio requirements is another beast altogheter. It would not hurt at all to wire with the jumper and since it's only one duplex, it's very easy to wire. I can upload some pictures later showing you how I wired my SR-Z1 for my projector installation. Also, let's say you wire it without the jumpers and that some time from now you forget how it is wired and you make some changes in your system, this could have an impact sonically. For me, I like to know that I did things optimally and that I can forget thinking about it.
