PREPARATION

Important: Complete all other con- nections to the System 730 before you connect it to power.

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS

1.Press open the pair of terminal tabs marked MAIN SPEAKERS/ + R – on the back of the System 730, then insert the right speaker’s red wire into the red

(+)terminal and its black wire into the black (–) terminal. Then release the tabs.

Note: You can use the set of termi- nals marked SURROUND SPEAKER to connect surround sound speakers (not supplied) to your System 730. Your local Radio Shack sells a wide selection of surround sound speak- ers.

Speaker Placement

For the best stereo effect, place the speakers so the distance between them is the same as the distance be- tween the listening area and the point halfway between the speakers. You might want to experiment with sever- al locations to find the best one.

Notes:

Caution: To avoid damaging your system and speakers, never let the speaker wire’s bare ends touch each other.

2.Repeat Step 1 to connect the left speaker’s wires to the terminals marked MAIN SPEAKERS/ + L – .

•If the you place the speakers far apart, you can improve the ste- reo effect by angling the speak- ers toward you.

•To increase the bass sound, place the speakers in the corner of the room, against the wall or directly on the floor.

•To decrease the bass sound, move the speakers slightly away from the corner, increase the distance between them, and/or raise them 6 to 8 inches off the floor. You can purchase speaker stands at your local Radio Shack store.
