the wiring connections. Listen to each speaker individually and, if any unit is out-of-phase, it will
produce sonic information that does not seem to have an point of origin. Switch the amplifier to
STANDBY (or OFF) and check to ensure that the marked wire connects to the positive (red and
red banded) binding posts of amp and speaker, and that the unmarked wire connects to the
negative (black and black
banded)binding
posts of amp and speaker.

of the amplifier GUI setup procedure to ensure each speaker is connected to the correct binding
posts. Refer to the applicable operating instructions for any other amplifier.
