sponding (+) and (–) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel

surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material.To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the

colored collar until the pass- through hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana- type connectors.

MODELS: N26II, N28II

The supplied self-adhesive felt pads may be attached to the bottom corners of your speakers to protect your furniture.

MODELS: N38II, ND310II

Without pad With pad

These models are shipped with four self-adhesive nonskid pads that are to be used when the loudspeaker is intended to be placed on a smooth-surfaced floor, such as tile or hardwood. Gently lay the speaker on its side (not its front or back) on a soft, nonabrasive surface. Attach each pad to the bottom of its foot in the widest portion of the recessed area.

DO NOT attach the pads if the speaker will be placed on carpeting.

NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the pads, the feet and/or the

wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location.

CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower) loudspeakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and tip over during earthquakes or if rocked, tipped or improperly positioned. If this is a concern, these speakers should be anchored to the wall behind them, using

the same procedures and hardware customary for anchoring bookcases and wall units. Customer is responsible for proper installation and proper selection of hardware.
