•Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
•Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive
(+) terminals, and negative
•Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
•Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker termi- nal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.
Using the Speaker Terminal Tool
The supplied speaker terminal tool makes it easy to tighten and loosen the speaker terminals. If you are using banana plugs, to ensure optimum sound quality, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug.

| the terminal lever, insert the |
| wire into the hole, and then |
| release the lever. |
3 | Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the AV |
receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE OUT to LINE INPUT on the subwoofer.
Make sure the cable is plugged all the way.
