speaker’s red wire into the red

into the black (–) terminal. Then
release the tabs.
Caution: To avoid damaging
your system and speakers,
never let the speaker wire’s bare

SURROUND SPEAKER
to connect surround sound speakers
(not supplied) to your System 730.
Your local Radio Shack sells a wide
selection of surround sound speak-
ers.
Speaker Placement
For the best stereo effect, place the
speakers so the distance between
them is the same as the distance be-
tween the listening area and the point
halfway between the speakers. You
might want to experiment with sever-
al locations to find the best one.
Notes:
• If the you place the speakers far
apart, you can improve the ste-
reo effect by angling the speak-
ers toward you.
• To increase the bass sound,
place the speakers in the corner
of the room, against the wall or
directly on the floor.
• To decrease the bass sound,
move the speakers slightly away
from the corner, increase the
distance between them, and/or
raise them 6 to 8 inches off the
floor. You can purchase speaker
stands at your local Radio
Shack store.
