CONNECTIONS

Make sure all equipment is turned off. When connecting the speakers, be sure to retain the correct polarity. Most speaker cables
will have (+) red sign for positive and (-) black sign for negative.

If you intend to use the bookshelf pair as front loudspeakers, connect the speaker cable to the positive (+) front-left speaker terminal
on the amplifier and to the positive (+) terminal on the left bookshelf speaker. Connect the speaker cable to the negative (-) front-left
speaker terminal on the amplifier and to the negative (-) terminal on the left bookshelf speaker. Repeat the same step for the
right-side bookshelf speaker. In the case that your speakers have two sets of terminals on the back, either set of input terminals can
be used as long as the shorting straps are in place. A pair of bookshelf speakers can also be used as a second pair of rear
speakers.

If you intend to use the bookshelf speakers as a second pair of rear speakers to a 7.1 system, connect the speaker cable to the
positive (+) rear left speaker terminal on the amplifier and to the positive (+) terminal on the left bookshelf speaker. Connect the
speaker cable to the negative (-) rear-left speaker terminal on the amplifier and to the negative (-) terminal on the left bookshelf
speaker. Repeat the same step for the right-side rear speaker.

POSITION

If used as front speakers they should be placed on each side of your TV or in front of your favorite listening position. As a general
guideline, the space from the speakers to the listening position should be 1.5 times the distance between the speakers. For
example, if your listening position is 9ft (2.7m) away from the speakers, the dist ance between the speakers should be 6ft (1.8m)

If used as rear speakers they should be positioned either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is on
the side walls, slightly above ear level, about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround
speakers to aim directly at the listener, placing you in the middle of a five-speaker sound field.
