How to connect the speaker cables
1
Remove 15 mm (5/8") of insulation from each end of the cables, and
twist the exposed conductors together neatly and tightly, as shown left.
2
Loosen the terminal knob.
3
Insert the bare wire.
4
Tighten the knob and secure the cable.
5
Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly on the cable at the
terminal.
Notes
• Make sure the terminal is gripping the bare wire, not the insulation.
• Make sure the bare wires do not touch each other, as this could damage the speaker or amplifier.
• If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound from the speakers.

Connecting to an amplifier or a receiver
Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your amplifier or receiver, and another speaker to the right
(marked R) terminals. Please refer to the owner’s manual that came with your amplifier or receiver.
Notes
• Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct polarity—positive (+) terminals to positive (+) terminals,
and negative (–) terminals to negative (–) terminals. If you get them crossed over, the sound will be unnatural and
lack bass.
• The speaker may be damaged if certain sounds are continuously output at high volume level. For example, if sine
waves from a test disc, bass sounds from electronic instruments, etc., are continuously output, or when the stylus
of a turntable touches the surface of a disc, reduce the volume level to prevent the speaker from being damaged.
• Once you have connected all of the speakers, plug the amplifier and other AV components into suitable AC wall
outlets.
• When using an amplifier with a rated output power higher than the nominal input power of the speaker, care
should be taken never to exceed the speaker’s maximum input.
