"INPUT" terminal labelled "1", and the Negative ( — ) lead from your amplifier or receiver should be connected to the
BLACK ( — ) "INPUT" terminal labelled "2".  See Figure 2 on Page 5.

TRIPOLE OR DIPOLE OPERATION

To operate in the Tripole mode, the jumper between the terminals labelled "3" and "4" must be in place.  To

operate the speaker in the THX Dipole mode, the jumper between the terminals labelled "3" and "4" must be removed.
Do not throw away or lose this jumper.  See Figures 3 and 4 on page 6.

VERY IMPORTANT:

The sensitivity of the speaker is slightly higher in the Tripole position.  For critical listening, when

switching from one mode to another, you should re-calibrate the level of the surround channels.
