[SPEAKER CONNECTIONS]
The following instructions apply whether you are using a separate amplifier or Home Theater receiver. For simplicity we will use the term
“amplifier” throughout this manual to mean both.
Special note: Turn off and unplug your amplifier before connecting speakers.
Special Note: Observe Speaker Polarity Carefully!
FRONT SPEAKERS:
The pair of front speaker connections (left and right) on your amplifier will be labeled “Front” or “Main.” Connect the
speaker cables for your left and right front speakers using these terminals and then connect the cables to the front satellites. Observe positive
and negative polarities.
CENTER SPEAKER:
The center speaker connections on your amplifier will be labeled “Center” or “Center Channel.” Connect the speaker
cables for your center channel speaker using these terminals and then connect the cables to the center speaker. Observe positive and
negative polarities.
SURROUND SPEAKERS:
The pair of surround connections (left and right) on your amplifier will be labeled “Surround.” Connect the speaker
cables for your left and right surround speakers using these terminals and then connect the cables to surround satellite speakers. Observe
positive and negative polarities.
REAR SPEAKERS (OPTIONAL PURCHASE):
The pair of rear connections (left and right) on your amplifier will be labeled “Rear.” Connect
the speaker cables for your left and right rear speakers using these terminals and then connect the cables to the rear satellite speakers.
Observe positive and negative polarities.
6.1-7.2 AND ADDITIONAL SUBWOOFERS:
Individual CineMicro
One satellite speakers and subwoofers are offered separately. One or two
extra satellites can expand your 5.1 system into a 6.1 or 7.1 system. Adding an extra subwoofer will expand your system to a 5.2, 6.2, or 7.2
system. Ask your Phase Technology dealer for details.
Every cable, speaker and amplifier is clearly marked to show their positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Amps and speakers
may use some combination of these symbols and/or colors to indicate positive (usually red) and negative (usually black or white)
connections. One strand of your cable will also be ridged and/or marked with a colored line or other indicator on the positive
side. For proper polarity and, thus, ideal system performance, always connect the positive side of the cable to the positive
terminals on your speakers and amplifier and the negative side of the cable to the negative terminals.
