WIRING THE SPEAKERS

After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make your connections. If you need more wire than is provided, use at least #16 gauge speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., + ). Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier, receiver, or television to confirm connection procedures.

On the back of the satellite, loosen the bracket screw and rotate the bracket to access terminals. Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 7. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.

Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to or to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response.

ROUTING THE WIRES...

Figure 8. This illustration shows how to route the wires through either hole in the speaker’s bracket and connect them to the terminals.

Before making your final connections, route the wires through either hole in the door, as shown in Figure 8.

NOTE: You may need to loosen the bracket screw to open the door further.

After you finish connecting your system, return the door to the desired angle and tighten the bracket screw.
