re'trazttaiStivi't.'t TV Use the supplied cables Use the supplied 20-foot cables to connect the speakers to your receiver or amplifier. To place your components more than 20 feet (6.2 m) apart, you will need to splice in a length of standard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire found at electrical and hardware stores). To place them more than 30 feet (9.2 m) apart, you will need heavier gauge wire. See the wire recommendations on page 9. Or check with your authorized Bose' dealer. The supplied speaker cable consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked with a red band. This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (-) terminals on the back of the speaker and receiver or amplifier. Note: Before running speaker cable through a wall or under a floor, check your local building code requirements and safety regulations. You may want to contact an electrical installer for this information. • ttl Make the connections Just press down on the terminal tab to insert the appropriate wire (Figure 4). 1. Connect one cable to the RIGHT SPEAKER OUTPUT of your receiver or amplifier. a. Attach the marked wire at one end to the red (+) terminal. b. Attach the plain wire at that end to the black (-) terminal. 2. Connect the other end of the same cable to your right speaker. a. Attach the marked wire to the red (+) terminal. b. Attach the plain wire to the black () terminal. 3. Connect the second cable to the LEFT SPEAKER OUTPUT and left speaker. Follow the procedure described above. Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully. CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug from outlet (the AC power mains). Not doing so may result in damage to your system. • • 6
