BASIC SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
Cube speakers connect to the Acoustimass
®
module
Each LIFESTYLE
®
DVD system includes five cube speakers.
Your system may feature Jewel Cube
®
speakers (image A on the left), which use a plug-in
type of cable connector. Or, you may have cube arrays or single cube speakers (images B
and C respectively), which use a two-wire cable for connections.
CAUTION:
Before you make any connections, be sure that the media center, the Acoustimass
module, and any additional equipment are NOT connected to AC power.

speakers.
Follow these instructions only if your system includes Jewel Cube speakers, shown as A on
the left. For connecting speakers B or C, skip to “B or C: Making two-wire connections for
cube or cube array speakers” on page 13.
The plug-in cable for your speakers fit only one way into the jack, which ensures proper
polarity (+ to + and – to –) connections.
1. Match each cable, according to its location marking, with the speaker placed in that
location:
• Front speaker cables have blue RCA connectors on one end and speaker plugs on the
other end with L (left), R (right), or C (center) markings.
• Surround speaker cables have orange RCA connectors on one end and speaker plugs
on the other end with L (left) or R (right) markings.
2. Orient the plug with its small knob up, so the plug slips easily into a notch on top of the
jack on the back of each speaker.
3. Insert the plug of each speaker cable fully into the jack on the rear of its respective
speaker.
