Standard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire found at electrical and hardware stores) works for most applications. If your speakers will be more than 30 feet (9 m) from the receiver or amplifier, see the wire recommendations under "Technical information" on page 7. Or check with your authorized Bose dealer. CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the outlet (the AC power mains). Use the cordproperly Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is striped, collared, or ribbed. This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (-). These correspond to the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals on the back of each speaker, receiver, or amplifier. Be sure to connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive, negative to negative). Note: Be sure to cut enough cord to mach from the receiver to each speaker. To prepare the ends of each cord At the ends of each cord, strip approximately 12/ " inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires. Twist the bare ends of each wire. To connect the cords Locate the terminals on the back of each speaker. Slide each terminal button aside and insert the proper wire (see Figure 2). Make sure each wire is firmly attached.
