LU43P-LU53PCONNECTION & TROUBLESHOOTING

Connecting Speakers

Your Speakers

Distortion/Knocking

The speaker wire must be securely connected and tightened properly to the speaker inputs. Do not over-tighten. Do not allow the positive and negative speaker wire from the receiver to make contact, as this will cause a short.

Banana style connectors may also be used on the LU53. The connection is made by connecting the speaker wire to the banana plugs, and then inserting the banana plug into the top portion of the binding posts.

It is recommended that the wire insulation be stripped back approximately 3/8”, allowing the wire conductor to make a proper connection. Make sure that the wire insulation is stripped back far enough so that the bare speaker wire will make a proper connection to the metal clip inside the terminal and be securely held in place. This can be confirmed visually.

Troubleshooting

If you hear obvious distortion from the speakers, immediately lower the volume level of your receiver. Those sounds often indicate that either the receiver or the speaker is being overdriven, and damage can result in playing your source material (music-CDs-DVD-MP3) at high volume levels for prolonged periods of time. You should also avoid turning the bass or treble controls fully up and using your "Loudness button" when the volume level is at or above normal listening levels. Note: The Loudness button on most receivers is designed to add depth when your system is being used for background music or at very low volume.

Distorted or unnatural sound can indicate poor connections, defective electronics, damaged source material or speaker failure. If only one of your speakers has poor sound quality, check the speaker wire and audio connections. If that doesn’t fix the problem, try putting each speaker in place of one another (swapping). If the sound remains poor on the suspect speaker after swapping location and the distortion moves with the speaker to the new location, the speaker may be the problem. If the distortion remains in the original location then the problem is eleswhere in your audio/video system.
