Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

Turn off your receiver before making any connections.

Pay close attention to speaker wir-

ing polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) ter- minals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Use the supplied cables to connect each speaker’s input terminals to the corresponding speaker output terminals on your receiver.

Match the color of each cable to the corresponding speaker terminal.

To make a connection, while pressing

the terminal lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever. Make sure that the terminals are grip-

ping the bare wires, not the insulation.
