Thread the internal harness through the rear panel. Insert the small white connector first. The wire end of the harness should now be inside the controller.
A.2 Connecting The oC-1 To The 3. Insert the circuit board into the multipin systems Controller receptacles inside the systems controller (Figure ). The component side faces you. The J jack The rear panel of the systems controller should face is on the left side.
If necessary, trim the cable to length. If the cable is too short, connect additional cable. Use well-insulated in-line crimp on cable splices. NOTE: Bose recommends attaching the external ® harness to a banana plug, if possible. Or, strip and twist the wires for insertion into the speaker terminal lug holes.
