CONNECTIONS

Before connecting

Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each 
speaker cable by twisting the coating off.

How to connect

1

Press and hold the terminal’s tab, as shown in the 
figure below.

2

Insert the bare wires.

3

Release your finger from the tab to allow it to lock 
securely on the cable’s wire end.

4

Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly 
on the cable at the terminal.

Notes

• Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other, 

because this could damage the subwoofer or the 
amplifier, or both of them.

• 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 terminals are observed and set correctly. If these 
cables are reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack 
bass.

After all connections are completed, plug in the subwoofer 
and other audio/video components to the AC outlet.
