Connecting speaker cables
Speaker cables have two wires. One is for connecting the negative (-) terminals of the unit and
the speaker to each other, and the other is for the positive (+) terminals. If the wires are colored
to prevent confusion, connect the black wire to the negative and the other wire to the positive
terminal.
1
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from the ends of the speaker cable and twist
the bare wires of the cable firmly together.
2
Loosen the speaker terminal.
3
Insert the bare wires of the cable into the gap on the side (upper right or bottom left) of the
terminal.
