Center and Satellite Speaker Connections

English

Turn Off All Power

After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First, turn off all audio-system power.

Use the speaker wire included (or similar) to make your connections. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).

Center Channel

Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 5. Connect the center channel + terminal on the back of the subwoofer to the + (red) terminal on the center speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.

Satellites

Observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the back of the subwoofer to the respective + (red) termi- nal 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.

NOTE: A small socket wrench is provided to help in prop- erly tightening the terminals. Hand-tighten only and do not overtighten.
