CENTER AND SATELLITE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Turn Off All Power
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First, turn off all
a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., + ). Also, consult the owner’s manuals that were included with your amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.
Satellites
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 10. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging and diminished bass response. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that
may damage your equipment.

Center Channel
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 10. Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on the speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making connections. Be certain that positive and negative wire strands are completely isolated to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment.
FIGURE 11 – The satellites and center channel speaker feature terminals that can be connected in several different ways; e.g., banana plugs, spade terminals and direct wiring (as shown here).
