Connecting the speakers

The S–L8/S–L9/S–L9-A speaker system consists of two compact satellite speakers that
deliver the middle and treble frequencies, and a subwoofer that provides powerful bass.
When connecting or disconnecting speakers, make sure that the power is switched off
and the unit unplugged from the wall outlet.

To get the best sound from the system, it’s important that the red (+) and black (–)
speaker terminals on the CD receiver are connected to the corresponding terminals on
each speaker. To help you match up the terminals correctly, the supplied speaker cable
is colour coded: connect the white half of the cable to the black (–) terminals, and the
grey striped half to the red (+) terminals.

Twist the exposed wire
strands together.

Pull open the tab and
insert the twisted wire fully
into the terminal.

Note: Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come
into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on.

Snap the tab shut again
to secure the speaker
cable.

CAUTION!

The speaker system is not
magnetically shielded. This
means that if the speakers are
placed very near a television
set or monitor, you may see
colour distortion in the pic-
ture. Move the speaker(s)
further away from the televi-
sion to solve the problem.
Do not connect any other
amplifier to this system. In
rare cases this may result in
smoke or fire.
Do not block the port open-
ing on the front of the
subwoofer.
If you wish to connect speak-
ers other than the ones sup-
plied, use only speakers with
a nominal impedance of be-
tween 6

and 16

(the sub-

woofer should be 4

). Refer

to the instructions that came
with your speakers if you are
unsure of their impedance
before connecting them and
switching on.
