a.Locate the dimples on the front baffle.

b.Place the self-tapping sheet-metal screw in the dimple and turn it with a screwdriver until it cuts through the baffle and anchors securely in the frame, as shown

in Figure 17.

5.Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system according to the receiver manufacturer’s instructions.

CHECKING LOUDSPEAKER PHASE

Loudspeaker wire has two conductors. On both your loudspeaker and amplifier, one conductor is attached to the negative (–) terminals, while the other is attached to the positive (+) terminals. Usually, the wire is marked for your convenience, but the marking can be done in the following different ways:

•Stripe on one wire

•Ribbed area you can feel on one conductor

•Different colors of metal wire on each conductor

•Fabric strand or string wound into one of the conductors
