Setting Up Preparing the speaker cord Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked (striped, collared, ribbed, or may have writing on it). This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (–). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (–) ter- minals on the speaker, receiver, or amplifier.
Setting Up Checking the connections Check all the connections from the receiver to the left and right speakers. Make sure all the wires are connected in phase (+ to + and – to –). Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on.
