Attaching
While pressing the plug down against a flat surface, insert the new speaker cords.
Note that the cord marked with a line should be attached to the minus (-) side of the plug.
Notes
• Be careful not to damage the surface you use (desk, etc.) when attaching/detaching the speaker cords.
• When using the subwoofer cord, note that the two outside black cords or the cords marked with letters are negative.
• If you connect the subwoofer cord with the polarity incorrect, the STANDBY indicator flashes, and the system
enters standby mode.
Tips
• You can use any commercially sold speaker cable of gauge cord AWG #18 - AWG #22.
• Before attaching a new cable, strip off 10 mm of its insulation and twist the bare wires of both cords.
