Caring for Your Speakers
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and
dirt.
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted with water, then
wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax
or cleaners.
• Never use thinner, benzene, insecticide sprays, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinets.
• Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the grille cloth.
Connecting Speakers
Your HTS-102 system includes all speaker wires required
for speaker connections. Each speaker wire consists of
two conductors (individual wires) encased in insulation
and is color-coded so you can identify each conductor (the
color mark is on only one of the conductors in each speaker wire pair). Use these colors as a guide to help you properly connect the speakers.
If the supplied speaker wires are too short for your connections, you can purchase additional wire at your local
RadioShack store. Use 16-gaug e (or larger) speaker wire
for all speaker connections.
