Connecting speaker cables
■ CONNECTIONS
• Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the
speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier
(or receiver) with the provided speaker cables.
• One side of the speaker cable is red and the other side is
black. Connect the (+) terminals on the amplifier (or
receiver) and speakers using the red side. Connect the
(–) terminals on both components using the black side of
the cable.
• Connect each speaker making sure not to reverse the
polarity (+, –). If the speaker is connected with reversed
polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
• For the rear speakers only, connect one speaker to the
left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier (or receiver),
and another to the right (marked R) terminals.
How to connect:
1
Loosen the knob.
2 Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each
speaker cable by twisting the coating off.
3 Insert the bare wire.
4
Tighten the knob and secure the cable.
Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on
the cable at the terminal.
Note
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as
this could damage the speaker or the amplifier, or both
of them.
