Checking the connections

Check the speaker connections carefully. Make sure no loose strands of wire touch across terminals. This could create short circuits and damage an amplifier or receiver.

Tighten any loose connections before you plug in the receiver/amplifier.

Testing the connections

To make sure your speakers operate correctly, follow these steps:

1.Center the balance control on your receiver/amplifier.

2.Set the stereo/mono control to MONO.

3.Play some passages of music containing deep bass through the speakers.

The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should be full and natural. If not, the connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to play out of phase. To correct the problem, make sure all the cords are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to –).
