CONNECTIONS TO THE RECEIVER
CONNECTIONS
Check to make sure that the receiver has been turned off before making any speaker connections.
Connect the (+) terminal of the receiver to the (+) terminal of the speaker.
Connect the (–) terminal of the receiver to the (–) terminal of the speaker.
Reversing polarity (+/–) will result in unnatural sound reproduction.
PROCEDURE
For connections, keep the speaker cords as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up the excess part of the
cords. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers. Make sure that the + and – polarity
markings of the speaker cords are observed and set correctly. If these cords are reversed, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.
