Connecting up

Important

Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

When making cable connections, make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit. This may cause a humming noise from the speakers.

Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on.

1Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

Connecting the speaker terminals

Connect the wires from the speakers to the terminals on the main unit rear panel as shown below. Before connecting, you may want to consider the placement options available in

your room, and when using this system:1

EV500 model only – Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV, then connect them as shown below.

See Optional surround speaker connections on page 10 to connect surround speakers.

EV700/1000 model only – A color-coded system is provided for speaker connections (see Multichannel speaker connections below). See Home theater sound setup on page 23 for surround placement options.

2Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

Make sure to insert the red/colored wire into the red/colored (+) tab and the black/white wire into the black (–) tab.

3EV 1000 only: Connect to the terminals on the rear of the subwoofer and front speakers in the same way.

Caution

• Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or fire.

Note

1• The speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15–30 minutes.
