Check the connections Check that all connections are made positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (- to -) (Figure 5). Make sure that no loose strands of wire touch across terminals. This could damage your receiver or amplifier. Be sure the connections are secure before you plug in the receiver or amplifier and turn it on. Setting Up Back of right speaker Back of left speaker Figure 5 Completed connections - R + +L- Receiver or Amplifier Test the speakers To make sure your speakers operate correctly: 1. Place the speakers less than 6 inches (15 cm) apart, facing each other. 2. Turn on your receiver, and set it to MONO (monophonic), if that is an option on your model. 3. Set the balance control to normal (center position). 4. Play some deep bass passages of music through the speakers. The sound should seem to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should be full and natural. If it is not, one of the connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to play out of phase. Refer to "Make the connections" on page 6. To correct the problem, make sure all the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (- to -). Then repeat steps 1 through 4 to re-test the speakers. L +R?? Rich Y.
