Connection tips
Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and amplifiers/receivers have corresponding (+) and
(–) terminals.
The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a stripe.
It is important to connect all the speakers identically: (+)
on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to
(–) on the amplifier.
Wiring “out of phase”results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor
stereo image.
Use Speaker-level connection only if your surround receiver does
not have line-level subwoofer or LFE outputs. If a line-level
connection is available, go to the next page.
For speaker-level connection, connect loudspeaker cable from the
front left and right loudspeaker outputs of your amplifier/receiver
to the corresponding left and right IN terminals on the subwoofer.
Then, connect loudspeaker cable from left and right loudspeaker
OUT on the subwoofer to the corresponding input terminals on
the front left and right loudspeakers.
Connect the remaining loudspeakers directly to the receiver. In the
surround processor set-up menu, the Left/ Right front speakers
must be selected as "Large." All other loudspeakers must be
selected as small.

If your receiver has a single subwoofer output or a dedicated LFE
output, connect interconnect cable from this output to the LFE
input on the subwoofer.
If your receiver has a pair of stereo subwoofer outputs, connect
interconnect cable from the receiver's left and right subwoofer
outputs to the corresponding inputs marked LINE LEVEL IN L and
R on the subwoofer.
