CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Note: The Receiver CD/Player unit must be mounted on the Center Stand before you connect the
speakers to the back panel.
TOWER SPEAKERS
Locate the color-coded speakers cables. The speaker terminals on the back of the tower speakers are
‘Spring Type’. Depress the red lever on the back of each tower speaker and insert the bare end of the red
wire into the terminal. Release the red lever to lock the wire in place. Follow the same procedure to connect
the black wire to the black terminal of each tower speaker.
BACK PANEL
Connect the other end of the color-coded speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the back panel of the
Receiver/CD Player unit. The terminals on the back of the Receiver/CD Player unit are ‘Lever Type’. Set the
4 plastic levers to their ‘Down’ (Open) position. Insert the bare wires from the left tower speaker into the color
coded terminals and then set the levers back to the ‘Up’ (Closed) position to lock the wires in place. Repeat
this procedure to connect the wires from the right tower speaker to the right terminals.
Note: Be sure to make the connections correctly. If the speakers are connected incorrectly the sound
may be ‘muddy’ or distorted.
