3 CABLES AND CONNECTIONS

∙Loudspeaker cables can have a noticeable effect on sound quality. Choose good quality low resistance cables with high purity metal conductors and low-loss dielectric (insulation). Ask your dealer for advice on cables to suit your system and budget.

∙Set amplifier(s) to minimum volume and switch off the power.

∙Always connect the –ve (usually black) loudspeaker output terminal of the amplifier to the corresponding –ve (Black) terminal on the loudspeaker.

∙Always connect the +ve (usually red) loudspeaker output terminal of the amplifier to the corresponding +ve (Red) terminal on the loudspeaker.

∙Always connect the left channel amplifier output to the left loudspeaker and the right channel amplifier output to the right loudspeaker.

∙For surround sound systems the centre, surround and rear loudspeakers must be connected to the appropriate amplifier outputs.

∙Make the connections as shown below. Only the left channel connection is shown.

∙When all connections have been made. Switch on the amplifier(s). Pick a sound source (e.g. CD or FM) and advance the volume control carefully.

BI-WIRING

∙IMPORTANT: REMOVE the terminal links and store them safely.

∙Bi-wiring can improve sound quality by separating the current paths for Low (LF) and High (HF) frequencies.
