NOTE: If you’re running the speaker wire through the wall you can bring it out directly behind the bracket location and insert it through the bottom opening in the wall portion of the wall-mount, as shown in the illustration. This will keep the wire completely hidden from view once the installation is complete.
Most electronics manufacturers, including Harman Kardon, use red to denote the ( + ) terminal and black for the ( – ) terminal. Newer Harman Kardon receivers conform to the CEA standard and therefore use a color other than red to denote the ( + ) terminal for some speaker positions.
