Use the 20 foot (6 m) cable with five pairs of wires to connect the Acoustimass module to
your surround-sound receiver.

a. RIGHT wires go to the Right Front SPEAKER OUTPUT connections.

c. LEFT wires go to the Left Front SPEAKER OUTPUT connections.
d. RIGHT SURROUND wires to the Right Surround (rear) SPEAKER OUTPUT connec-
tions.
e. LEFT SURROUND wires go to the Left Surround (rear) SPEAKER OUTPUT connec-
tions.
2. Match the polarity on the receiver. Connect the wire pairs in phase (+ to + and – to –).
a. Attach each marked wire (+) to the appropriate positive (+) terminal.
b. Attach each plain wire (–) to the appropriate negative (–) terminal.
3. At the Acoustimass module, check to make sure all RCA connectors are firmly inserted
into the proper INPUT FROM RECEIVER OR AMPLIFIER jacks.

"Surround" speakers may be called "Rear".
CAUTION: Do not connect the Acoustimass module directly to your television unless the
television provides surround decoding circuitry and amplified outputs for all channels.
