Pose,

I believe they sent you one of the old, orriginal Z-5500 systems--not the new, updated model. The old system was primarily for permanent installation, and if I recall correctly, was for someone to set up in their living room or den with a surround-sound TV. The newer one, just as your orriginal system, replaced the one with bannana clips and tinned wires. I would be on the phone to them ASAP.
