For connection, keep the speaker cables as short as
possible. Do not bundle or roll up the excess part of the
cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard
from the subwoofer or the speakers, or both of them. Make
sure that the + and – polarity markings of the speaker
cables are observed and set correctly. If these cables are
reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other, because
this could damage the subwoofer or the amplifier, or both of
them.
■
Before connecting
Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each
