CONNECTING YOUR AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER

Before making connections, make sure that the amplifier/receiver is switched off.

•When connecting, also refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment.

Connections

•Connect the push input terminals at the rear of the speakers to the speaker output terminals of the amplifier/receiver with the speaker cables (not included).

•Connect each speaker making sure not to reverse the polarity “+” (red), “–” (black). If the speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.

How to connect

1Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8”) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable using wire strippers, and then twist the exposed wires of the cable together to prevent short circuits.

2Press and hold down the speaker terminal.

3Insert the bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal.

4Release the terminal.

•Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the terminal.

CAUTION

•Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this could damage the speaker or amplifier/receiver, or both.

After connecting

•Lower the power amplifier/receiver volume control before changing input sources. Never change input sources (for example, FM to CD) at high listening levels. Always turn the receiver/amplifier unit off when installing or removing any cables.

•Anytime you note distortion, reduce the volume control on your power amplifier/receiver to a lower setting. Never allow your power amplifier to be driven into “clipping”.

PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE

The speaker grilles can be painted to match your room décor. Use high quality spray paint and select a well ventilated area before proceeding.

1Carefully remove the grille from the speaker if attached.

2Remove the scrim cloth that is attached to the back of the grille. (The adhesive that holds the cloth in place is reusable.)

3Apply the paint to the grille.

•Make sure that the grille holes remain free of paint.

•Clogging the holes with paint may diminish the sound quality.

4When the paint has fully dried, re-attach the scrim cloth to the back of the grille.

5Re-install the grille on the speaker.
