	and (–) terminals.
Most manufacturers of speakers and electronics,
including JBL, use red to denote the (+) terminal
and black for the (–) terminal.

The (+) lead of the speaker wire is noted with a ridge or stripe. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the receiver and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver. 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 ambi- ence and directionality of the program material.

To use the binding-post speaker terminals on the rear panel of the DCR600II receiver, and on the subwoofer, 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.

To connect the supplied speaker wires to the satellite and center speaker terminals, press the red or black plastic tab for the desired terminal, insert the bare end of the wire into the hole and release the tab. Gently tug on the wire to make sure that it is fully inserted.
