Thank you for making a great decision and choosing to purchase the
Linksys by Cisco Stereo Speaker Kit.
The speakers can be used with most stereo audio amplifiers and receivers,
but are designed to be a perfect match for the Linksys Director (DMC250).

Installation Overview
This Quick Installation Guide will guide you through connecting each
two-wire cable to a speaker at one end, and your audio amplifier at the
other end. For each channel (Left and Right), you will connect the red
coded input terminal on the speaker to the red coded output terminal of
the audio amplifier, and equivalently the black to the black.
Connecting the Speakers to the Director
To ensure proper operation and sound quality, the cables must be
connected to the speakers correctly. Do not allow any cable strands to
touch the other polarity or the rear panel of the amplifier. Make sure that
the speakers are connected to the correct Left and Right outputs.
NOTE: If the colors are not matching at both ends, the speakers
will play out-of-phase, resulting in the reduction of dynamics and
bass and the elimination of the position of the music or vocals in
between the two speakers.
NOTE: The speakers are interchangeable and can be used as either
the left or right speaker. The terminals and the cables are color
coded for correct polarity.

Connecting the Speakers
Power off your Director (or other audio amplifier).A.
Locate the two-wire speaker cables provided. Each two-wire cable is B.
color coded with a red line on one of the wires, so it is easy to identify
at both ends.
C. Press down on the red coded
input terminal on the back
of the speaker and insert the
speaker wire with the red line.
D. Press down on the black coded
input terminal on the back
of the speaker and insert the
speaker wire without a marking.
E. Connect the other end of the
speaker wire with the red line
to the appropriate L (left) or
R (right) red coded output
terminal on the Director.
Connecting the SpeakersEnglish
Connect the other end of the speaker wire without any marking to the F.
L (left) or R (right) black coded output that pairs up with the terminal
used in the previous step.
Repeat steps C-F to connect the other speaker. G.

The speakers can be placed on stands, in bookshelves or on cabinets.
A larger stereo image can be created by separating the position of the
speakers. Ideally the speakers should be placed at listening height, in a
symmetrical triangle with the listening position.
Place the speakers approximately 1 foot (0.3 m) from the rear wall or object.
The speakers should be placed a minimum of 3 feet (1m) away from the
side walls and the ceiling above to reduce reflections.
Minimum Clear Space to Ceiling and Side Walls
Avoid sound reflections in front of the speaker by aligning the front edge
of the speaker with the edge of the surface it has been placed on. The back
of the speakers have a vented port opening. Do not block the vented port
opening, as it will reduce the bass and/or create a rattling sound.
An equal distance to the corners and side walls for both speakers will give
the most natural and precise reproduction. Optimize the listening distance
to the speakers depending on the room acoustics and reflecting walls.

Optimizing High Frequencies
Adjust the angle of the speakers towards the center listening position for
preferred high frequency level and soundstage depth.
Optimizing Bass Level
To increase your bass response, place your speakers closer to the walls and
corners.
Notes on Speaker Terminals and Cabling
The input terminals on the speakers accept high performance cables with
a thickness of up to 4 mm/10AWG. Your speakers come with a pair of
1.5 mm/16AWG speaker cables matching the speaker terminals and most
amplifiers. If you need longer cables, consult your salesperson or retail store
for advice on which cables best match your listening environment.
NOTE: The Director accepts a maximum 1.5 mm/16AWG cable.
The exposed wires at each end should be 1/3” (8 mm), and the strands may
not be split up. The strands should all be inserted into the terminal.
Congratulations! Installation is complete.

Troubleshooting
I am not hearing any sound.
Make sure that the speaker wires are properly inserted into the speaker •
terminals and the amplifier connections.
Verify that the amplifier is plugged in and powered on. •
Make sure that the amplifier is not muted and that the volume is up. •
Check the documentation for the amplifier for additional troubleshooting •
tips.
Sound is only coming out of one speaker.
Make sure that the L/R balance on your amplifier is adjusted correctly. •
Check the cabling between the speaker and the amplifier. •
The vocal or music positioning seems out of place.
Make sure that the speaker cables are properly connected. They should be •
going from a red output terminal on the amplifier to a red input terminal
on the speakers and from a black output terminal on the amplifier to a
black input terminal on the speakers.
Make sure you’ve followed all of the guidelines for placement and •
positioning.
Check the documentation for the amplifier for additional troubleshooting •
tips.
