Free-Standing Speakers
1. For all free-standing speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left Surround Rear and Right Surround), terminate
the speaker wire in a wall plate.
2. If you need to shorten the service loop, remember to re-label each cable end.
3. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the speaker wire.
4. Neatly twist the conductor strands so that they won’t fray.
5. To help ensure proper sound, connect speaker wires observing consistent polarity. For every speaker, connect THE SAME insulator
color to the Red (+) terminal and the opposite insulator color to the Black (-) terminal.
6. Connect the speaker wires to the inside terminals of the wall plates.
7. Screw the wall plate into the junction box.
8. Affix the face plate, if necessary loosening the wall plate screws for a snug fit to the wall.
9. Using short lengths of 14-gauge, 2-conductor cable, connect all free-standing speakers to their wall plates. Again, for every speaker,
connect THE SAME insulator color to the Red (+) terminal and the opposite insulator color to the Black (-) terminal.
In-Wall and In-Ceiling Speakers
1. If you need to shorten the service loop, remember to re-label each cable end.
2. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the speaker wire.
3. Neatly twist the conductor strands so that they won’t fray.
4. To help ensure proper sound, connect speaker wires observing consistent polarity. For every speaker, connect THE SAME insulator
color to the Red (+) terminal and the opposite insulator color to the Black (-) terminal.
5. Install the speakers and grilles according to the instructions that came with the speakers.
Subwoofer
1. Terminate the Subwoofer cable in a wall plate that has an RCA jack inside and outside.
2. Plug the Subwoofer cable into the wall plate.
3. Screw the wall plate into the junction box.
4. Affix the face plate, if necessary loosening the wall plate screws for a snug fit to the wall.
5. Use an RCA cable to connect the wall plate to the audio input of the subwoofer.
6. Connect the AC cord of the subwoofer to the AC duplex output provided.
