■ Connections
● Connect the screw-type input terminals at the rear of the
speakers to the speaker output terminals of your amplifier
with the speaker cables.
● Connect the (+) terminals on both the amplifier and the
speakers using one side of the cable. Connect the (–)
terminals on both components using the other side of the
cable.
● Connect one speaker to the left (marked L) terminals of your
amplifier, and another speaker to the right (marked R)
terminals, making sure not to reverse the polarity (+, –). If
one speaker is connected with reversed polarity, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.
Procedure:
➀
Loosen the terminal knob.
➁ Remove approx. 10 mm insulation from the speaker cable
and insert the bare wire end properly into the terminal hole.
➂ Tighten the knob.
➃
Test the security of the connection by tugging lightly on the
cable at the terminal.
Note
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this
could damage the speaker and/or the amplifier.

PLACING THE SPEAKERS
■ Using as 2ch stereo speakers
Better stereo images will be obtained when the speakers are
slightly angled in towards the listeners.
■ Using as main speakers in a multi channel
system
Position the speakers on both sides of the TV. The positioning
of speakers is important, because it controls the whole sound
quality of a multi channel system. Set up the speakers on the
basis of your listening position by following the owner’s manual
supplied with your amplifier.
