Connecting the Speakers
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
•Turn off your receiver before making any connections.
Pay close attention to speaker wir-
ing polarity. Connect positive (+)
terminals to only positive (+) ter-
minals, and negative (–) terminals
to only negative (–) terminals. If
the speakers are wired incorrectly,
the sound will be out of phase and
will sound unnatural.
Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage your amp.
Use the supplied cables to connect each
speaker’s input terminals to the corresponding
speaker output terminals on your receiver.
Match the color of each cable to the corresponding
speaker terminal.
To make a connection, while pressing
the terminal lever, insert the wire into
the hole, and then release the lever.
Make sure that the terminals are grip-
ping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your AV receiver’s SUBWOOFER PRE
OUT.
