Notes
• Cover the floor with a cloth when connecting.
• Be sure to match the polarity of the speaker cord and
the terminal on the component; 3 to 3 (grey), # to #
(black). If reversed, the sound will lack bass and may
be distorted.
Notes on speaker cord treatment
• Do not insert the speaker cord insulation in the
speaker terminals. Bend the stripped cord at the
end of the insulation before connecting.
• To prevent short-circuiting of the speakers,
make sure the stripped speaker cord does not
touch the other stripped speaker cord or the
terminal.
Example:
Too much insulation is
removed. Stripped cords are
touching each other.
