After testing for the slack necessary to turn the
speaker (see the following step), use the groove
provided to secure the speaker wire.
c. Turn the speakers towards the closest
wall, lining the arrows up for optimal Front

For Front Surround mode, turn each surround
speaker so that the  arrow at the base is lined
up with the  (FRONT SURROUND) arrow on
the front speaker. For Extra Power mode, have
all the speakers facing forward. See the

CAUTION
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent
the risk of electric shock when connecting
or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching
any uninsulated parts.
• Do not connect any speakers other than
those supplied to this system.
• Do not connect the supplied speakers to
any amplifier other than the one supplied
with this system. Connection to any other
amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.
• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on
the cables to make sure that the ends of
the cables are securely connected to the
terminals. Poor connections can create
noise and interruptions on the sound.
• If the cable's wires happen to be pushed
out of the terminals, allowing the wires to
come into contact with each other, it
places an excessive additional load on the
amp. This may cause the amp to stop
functioning, and may even damage the
amp.
