Caution: Do not connect external speakers to more
than one audio source at a time. You can
connect a set of speakers to either the TV or
the amplifier but not to both at the same
time. If you connect the same speakers to
both the TV and the amplifier (or to more
than one set of terminals), you will
probably damage your equipment.

Connecting Speakers to Back of Amplifier or Receiver
If you connect an amplifier or receiver to your TV, connect
the speakers to the amplifier/receiver instead of the TV.
Sound from the TV will then come through the
amplifier/receiver. You can also connect additional
surround speakers to the back of the TV, if desired.
The diagram below shows how to connect external
speakers to the speaker terminals on the back of a typical
amplifier/receiver. Check the owner's manual for your
amplifier/receiver if its speaker terminals look different
than those shown below.
Notes: After connecting the speaker wire, pull it gently and check that it
is connected securely to its terminals.
Do not allow the wire core to protrude from its terminal or contact other
wires or terminals. If the cores of two wires touch each other, damage to
components could result.

Connect to B Terminals
Important Note: When connecting the speaker wire, make sure you
connect the (+) terminal on the amplifier or receiver to the (+) terminal
on the speaker. One side of the speaker wire is usually marked with a
white stripe to help you connect (+) to (+) and (-) to (-). If the (+) and
(-) terminals are not matched properly, the speakers will not be "in
phase" causing reduction in low frequencies (bass).
