[. . . ] · Floorstanding speakers are typically set to the "Large, " or full-range setting. · Also refer to the electronics instructions for adjusting the relative volume levels of the speakers so they are at the same level when listened to from the primary listening position. Surround Channel Speakers (See Figures 2A, 2B and 3. ) · Place approximately 2 feet above seated ear height on side or rear walls (approximately 5-6 feet above the floor). · Use the attached wall brackets to hook to appropriately sized screw heads screwed into a wall stud and wall anchor or two wall anchors with a suitable weight bearing capacity. (See Figure 3. ) Connecting Turn your amplifier off before making any connections. · Your loudspeakers are equipped with positive (Red) and negative (Black) connection terminals on the rear of the cabinet. These correspond to the positive and negative terminals on the appropriate channel (left, right, center, rear etc. ) of your amplifier. Care and Cleaning · Occasional dusting or wiping of the cabinet with a cloth is all that is required. · A vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment may be used to clean the grille fabric. · Never spray polishes or cleaners on the drive units. Standard Connections (See Figure 4. )(All Models) · All speakers in your system must be connected in phase with the positive speaker terminal connected to the positive amplifier terminal. Repeat this for the negative speaker terminal and amplifier terminals. Most speaker wire has distinguishing markings on the insulation of one of the conductors to assist in correct hookup. · Use 16 gauge (AWG), two conductor, copper wire at a minimum and larger gauge wire for longer runs. The connection terminals on your loudspeaker will accommodate bare wire, spade terminals, and banana plugs. (After removing small plastic caps from banana plugs. ) With all connection types, take care that there is no contact between the positive and negative terminals at the speaker and amplifier. Damage to your equipment may result.
