Examine the speaker system carefully for shipping damage. If there is any, do not install or use the sys- tem. Return the speaker to the store where you made the purchase or call Cambridge SoundWorks at 1-800 FOR-HIFI (1-800-367-4434) for assistance. - Page 5 STAND AND FOOT ASSEMBLY Attach the cast metal stands to the base of each speaker using four bolts for each stand (see diagram). The metal stands are identical. Tighten the bolts securely. Connect the AC cord, but do not connect the other end to a wall socket.

Install the Disc Feet on the speaker first and determine exactly where you want to place the speaker on a carpet, then change the feet to exposed spikes.

Page 9: Connection Diagrams
CONNECTION DIAGRAMS Speaker Wire The simplest hookup configuration uses two lengths of speaker wire (not provided) to connect the right and left channel of your receiver to the Newton Series Tower loudspeakers. This straight forward configuration fully utilizes the integral powered subwoofer. We recommend it to any- one for the easiest setup. - Page 10 This configuration lets you adjust the bass of both speakers with one control — the Sub Level control on the speaker connected to you receiver’s SUB OUT jack. It does not matter which speaker connects to your receiver’s SUB OUT jack.
