After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your system. First turn off all audio system
power. Use high-quality speaker wire to make the connections. Consult the owner’s manuals
(included with your amplifier, receiver or television) for connection and operation procedures.
QPS-1 speakers have gold-plated terminals that accept a variety of wire connectors (see Figure 4
below). Observe correct polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in Figure 5 (on
page 6).
Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifier, receiver or television to the respective
+ (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in the same way.
Do not reverse polarities (e.g., + to
-
or
-
to + ) when making connections.

After placing and wiring the speakers, turn on audio system power. Follow the
instructions (packed with your A/V preamplifier or receiver) to calibrate the
Dolby
® Pro Logic ® or Dolby Digital channels. Most components include a built-in
test tone to help you balance the sound levels to all speakers in your system. During
calibration, verify that each QPS-1 reproduces the test tone. If not, check the wiring
connections and see the Troubleshooting chart (on page 7) for help.
