When connecting wires to the speakers,
be certain to observe proper polarity.
Remember to connect the "negative" or
"black" wire to the same terminal on the
receiver and the speaker. Similary the
"Red" wire should be connected to the
like terminal on the AVR80 and speaker.
NOTE: While most speaker
manufacturers adhere to an industry
convention of using black terminals for
negative and red ones for positive, some
manufacturers may vary from this
configuration. To assure proper phase,
and optimal performance, consult the
identification plate on your speaker, or
the speaker's manual to verify polarity. If
you do not know the polarity of your
speaker, ask your dealer for advice before
proceeding, or consult the speaker's
manufacturer.
6. Connections to a subwoofer are made
via a line level audio connection from the
receiver´s jack
to the line level input of
µ
a subwoofer with a built in amplifier. If a
passive subwoofer is used, the connection
first goes to a power amplifier, which will
be connected to the subwoofer speakers.
If Your system has two subwoofers, as
with many THX systems, connect the jack
with a so called 'Y' cable to a Stereo
µ
power amplifier, powering both
subwoofers.
