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.

frequencies.
