LU43P-LU53P CONNECTION & TROUBLESHOOTING
Connecting Speakers
The speaker wire must be securely connected and tightened
properly to the speaker inputs. Do not over-tighten. Do not
allow the positive and negative speaker wire from the
receiver to make contact, as this will cause a short.
Banana style connectors may also be used on the LU53. The
connection is made by connecting the speaker wire to the
banana plugs, and then inserting the banana plug into the
top portion of the binding posts.
It is recommended that the wire insulation be stripped back
approximately 3/8”, allowing the wire conductor to make a
proper connection. Make sure that the wire insulation is
stripped back far enough so that the bare speaker wire will
make a proper connection to the metal clip inside the
terminal and be securely held in place. This can be
confirmed visually.
Troubleshooting
If you hear obvious distortion from the speakers, immediately
lower the volume level of your receiver. Those sounds often
indicate that either the receiver or the speaker is being
overdriven, and damage can result in playing your source
material (music-CDs-DVD-MP3) at high volume levels for
prolonged periods of time. You should also avoid turning the
bass or treble controls fully up and using your "Loudness
button" when the volume level is at or above normal listening
levels. Note: The Loudness button on most receivers is
designed to add depth when your system is being used for
background music or at very low volume.
Distorted or unnatural sound can indicate poor connections,
defective electronics, damaged source material or speaker
failure. If only one of your speakers has poor sound quality,
check the speaker wire and audio connections. If that doesn’t
fix the problem, try putting each speaker in place of one
another (swapping). If the sound remains poor on the suspect
speaker after swapping location and the distortion moves with
the speaker to the new location, the speaker may be the
problem. If the distortion remains in the original location then
the problem is eleswhere in your audio/video system.
