Speaker Level
Connection Tips
Separate and strip the ends of the speaker wire as shown. Speakers and amplifiers/ receivers have corresponding
(+)and (–) terminals. The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a stripe. It is impor- tant to connect all the speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the ampli- fier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. Use Speaker-level connection only if your surround receiver does not have line-level sub- woofer or LFE outputs. If a line- level connection is available, go to the next page.
For speaker-level connection, connect loudspeaker cable from the front left and right loudspeaker outputs of your
amplifier/receiver to the corre- sponding left and right IN termi- nals on the subwoofer.
Then, connect loudspeaker cable from left and right loud- speaker OUT on the subwoofer to the corresponding input ter- minals on the front left and right loudspeakers.
Connect the remaining loud- speakers directly to the receiv- er. In the surround processor set-up menu, the Left/Right front speakers must be selected as "Large". All other loudspeakers must be selected as small.
