two. Speaker Connections
Separate and strip the ends of
the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics ter-
minals have corresponding (+)
and (–) terminals. It is impor-
tant to connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the speaker
to (+) on the amplifier and
(–) on the speaker to (–) on
the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor stereo
image.
Connection Tips
If there is no sound from
the surround speakers,
check the following:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers. Make
sure all wires are connected.
Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed,
cut or punctured.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier and its
surround-sound features.
• Make sure the movie or TV
show you are watching is
recorded in Dolby*Surround.
If it is not, check to see if
your receiver/amplifier has
other surround modes you
may use.
If there is no sound from
the center speaker, check
the following:
• Make sure that your
receiver’s Center Channel
Mode is in the “normal” or
“wide” position. If it is in
the “phantom” position, the
center speaker will not play.
• Check all connections
between processor/amplifier
and the center speaker.
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as
volume is increased, check
the following:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers. Make
sure all wires are connected.
Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed,
cut or punctured.
• If more than one pair
of main speakers is being
used, check the minimum-
impedance requirements of
your receiver/amplifier.
