How to make terminal con-

nections

Test the speakers

Just press the terminal tab on the back of each speaker to insert the appropriate wire (Figure

3).

CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver and unplug it from the AC

power (mains) outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to your system.

CAUTION: Never use broken or frayed wiring, which can result in electrical shock or damage.

1. Connect one speaker cord to your right speaker.

• Attach each marked wire (+) to the appropriate (+) terminal.

• Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate (–) terminal.

2. Connect the other end of the same cord to the RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT of your

receiver.

• Attach each marked wire (+) to the appropriate (+) terminal.

• Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate (–) terminal.

3. Connect the second cord to the left speaker and LEFT SPEAKER OUTPUT. Follow the

steps in 1 and 2 above.

To make sure your speakers operate correctly:

1. Turn on your receiver. Set the receiver to MONO (monophonic), if that is an option on your

receiver.

2. Make sure that all special effects (such as surround sound) are turned off.

3. Set the balance control to normal (center position).

4. Play some deep bass passages of music through the speaker.

The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should be

full and natural. If it is not, one of the connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to

play out of phase (refer to "Make the connections" above).

To correct the problem, make sure all the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and

negative to negative (– to –). Then repeat steps 1 through 4 above to re-test the speakers.
