Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
• Pay close attention to speaker
wiring polarity. Connect positive
(+) terminals to only positive (+)
terminals, and negative (–)
terminals to only negative (–)
terminals. If the speakers are
wired incorrectly, the sound will
be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage your amp.
Use the supplied speaker cables to connect
each speaker input terminals to the
corresponding speaker output terminals on
your receiver.
Match the color of each cable to the corresponding
speaker terminal.
To make a connection, while pressing the
terminal lever, insert the wire into the
hole, and then release the lever. Make
sure that the terminals are gripping the
bare wires, not the insulation.
Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the
subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your receiver’s PRE
OUT: SUBWOOFER.
HT-S7200: If you are using an Onkyo HT-S7200
system, you can connect the powered subwoofer with
two PRE OUT: SUBWOOFER jacks respectively. When
using a single subwoofer, you can connect either jack.
The other jack is for connecting additional subwoofer.
