Check the impedance of your speakers. Speakers with an impedance of between 4
and 8 Ohms are recommended.
The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals
are negative (-). Make sure correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector
or the sound can become weak and "phasey" with little bass.
Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10mm (3/8")
or less of the outer insulation. More than 10mm could cause a short circuit. Twist the
wires tightly together so there are no loose ends. Unscrew the speaker terminal knob,
insert the speaker cable, tighten the knob and secure the cable.

Note: All connections are made using standard loudspeaker cable. If an active
subwoofer is used, connect via a standard single RCA/phono cable (often referred to
as a 'Sub-Link').
2 DD30 docking station
Connect the supplied DD30 docking station to the connector located at the rear.
3 Active subwoofer In/Out
Connect the output to an active subwoofer using a standard RCA/phono cable (if
required). The input allows the Sonata AR30/DR30 to pass through the subwoofer
output (LFE) of an attached Sonata DV30 DVD player.
