Connect the other end to the RIGHT FRONT SPEAKER terminals on your receiver. Note: Your receiver may have terminals for more than one pair of front speakers, labeled Speakers A andSpeakers B. Use either set of terminals unless one is designated for a particular rating. In that case, use the terminals intended for use with speakers rated 8 ohms (8D) or less. 3. Repeat to connect the INPUT FROM AMP OR RECEIVER terminals marked LEFT on the bass module to the LEFT FRONT SPEAKER terminals on your receiver. 4. Repeat to connect the INPUT FROM AMP OR RECEIVER terminals marked CENTER on the bass module to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals on your receiver. Note: Some surround sound receivers provide two sets of center channel terminals. Use either set. ifyour receiver's center channelis not amplifiedyoumust connect an amplifier to your receiver. Use RCA cable to connect the center channelRCA-type output on the receiver to the RCA-type input on the amplifier.
