Preparing the Speaker Wires

Follow these guidelines when you select and connect speakers.

•Only connect speakers that are rated at between 8 and 16 Ohms.

•Be sure you properly connect all speakers.

•Do not connect two pairs of speakers to a single set of terminals at the same time.

•Realistic, Optimus, and other high- quality speakers have color-coded speaker terminals (red for positive po- larity and black for negative polarity). Use these color-coded terminals as a guide to help you properly connect the speakers to the receiver.

•Use 16-gauge (or larger) speaker wire for all speaker connections, and con- sider possible speaker locations be- fore you decide how much speaker wire you need.

Speaker wire consists of two conductors (individual wires) encased in insulation and is usually color-coded or marked with a ridge along one side so you can identify each conductor. Use these markings as a guide to help you properly connect the speakers to your receiver.
