CONNECTIONS
Always switch off your amplifier/receiver before changing any connections. Always
use cables of the same type and of the same length for the left and right loudspeakers.
Always connect loudspeakers in the right side of the listening room to the output
terminals marked (R) or (Right) on the amplifier and loudspeakers in the left side of
the listening room to the output terminals marked (L) or (Left) on the amplifier.
Tighten all connections so that cables do not get loose (do not use tools). No loose
strands of wires should stick out, as this may cause a short circuit and damage the
amplifier. Re-tighten the connections now and then as the connections may get loose
after a period of time.
Cable quality and construction does make a difference. Your should therefore always
buy cable of good quality to ensure the best possible sound quality.

Loudspeaker cables must always be
connected in phase between amplifier and
loudspeaker, that is from red plus (+) terminal
to red plus (+) terminal and from black minus
(-) terminal to black minus (-) terminal.
If not all loudspeakers are connected in phase
to the stereo or surround system, you will
experience weak bass and diffuse perspective.
Whether you are to connect two stereo
loudspeakers or a whole surround system you
must follow the same guidelines. In the dia-
gram (fig. 1) it is shown how to connect a 5
channel surround system by using single-
wiring (bi-wiring and bi-amping can be carried
out according to the directions below).
A stereo amplifier has two pairs of output
terminals called Right (R) and Left (L). You
connect the right (R) and left (L) loudspeakers
here. A surround amplifier also has outputs for
stereo loudspeakers typically called Front.
Furthermore, the surround amplifier has
outputs for Center and rear loudspeakers
Rear or Surround (fig. 1). Please check with
the manual for your surround amplifier.
