CONGRATULATIONS!

This guide will show you how to connect all of the
different parts of your Spectrum 870AV System.
Simply perform the following steps (on both sides)
to build your new system.

For more detailed connection information, and to

learn how to assemble the rack and operate all of
the system’s components, please read the manuals
that come with the rack and the components.

STEP 1 - Stacking The Components In The Rack

To make sure that theyTe properly ventilated and
stable, stack the components according to the dia
gram on the right. If you’re using a turntable, place
it on top of the rack.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug the receiver’s power
cord into an AC outlet until you have properly
made all of the connections listed in steps 3
through 7.

STEP 2 - Placing The Speakers

Place the speakers as shown in the diagram on the
right. While you’re setting the speakers up, keep

these points in mind:

• Since the left, right, and center speakers are
magnetically-shielded, you can place them near
the TV without picture discoloration. The center
speaker can be placed right on top of the TV.

• You can hang the surround speakers on the wall
using heavy-duty picture hangers.

• Placing the left and right speakers next to a wall
produces more deep bass output than placing
them away from a wall. Placing the speakers in
corners produces the deepest bass output over
all, but may cause the sound to become
“muddy” or “heavy.”

STEP 3 - Connecting The Speakers

Connect the speakers as shown in the diagram on
the right, using the wires supplied with the speakers.
To make it easier, we've removed the insulation from
the ends of the wires.

• Be sure to connect the {+) terminals on the
receiver to the (+) terminals on the speakers,
and the (-) terminals on the receiver to the (~)

terminals on the speakers. Connecting (+) to (-)
can cause poor sound quality.

• Never allow the (+) and (-) speaker wires to

touch each other. Touching wires can cause a
short circuit, which couid damage the receiver.
