Connection
Before making or changing the
connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
Connecting the speakers
To get the best out of your speakers it is
important that you connect them properly to
your receiver. Each speaker connection
consists of a positive (+) and a negative (–)
terminal. These should be matched between
the receiver and the speaker.
1 Attach one end of the supplied speaker
cord to the rear of the each speaker.
• Connect the wire with the colored
marker to the red (+) terminal; the plain
wire to the black (–) terminal. Press
down the spring-loaded tab and insert
the wire, as shown below. Release the
tab to secure the wire.
2 Connect the other end of each speaker
cord to your receiver.
• To connect, insert the colored wire into
the matching positive (colored) terminal
and the other wire into the negative
(black) terminal. See also the Operating
Instructions that came with your
receiver.
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the
risk of electric shock when connecting or
disconnecting the speaker cords,
disconnect the power cord before touching
any uninsulated parts.
• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on
the cords to make sure that the ends of the
cords are securely connected to the
terminals. Poor connections can create
noise and interruptions in the sound.
• If the cords’ wires happen to be pushed out
of the terminals, allowing the wires to come
into contact with each other, it places an
excessive additional load on the receiver.
This may cause the amp to stop
functioning, and may even damage the
receiver.
• When using a set of speakers connected to
an receiver, you won’t be able to obtain the
normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, –) of
one of the speakers (left or right) is
reversed.
Operation
• Set the receiver’s cross-over frequency
at 200 Hz.
