2 Connect the audio

3 Connect the speakers

NOTE: This DVD home theater system is designed to reproduce optimum sound quality when the supplied

speakers are used. If you want to connect speakers other than the ones supplied, they should be 6 ohms impedance for the speakers and 3 ohms impedance for the subwoofer.

To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the speaker output terminals.

To connect the speakers:

Press the speaker terminal clip down and insert the wire, then release the clip.

Connect all speakers in the same manner.

Caution:

•

Do not remove too much insulation from the wire cables to avoid the stripped portions from touching each other. The optimal length for the stripped part should be around 1/3 inch (or 1cm).

•

Do not push the stripped part too far into the speaker connectors.
