Setting Up Connect the speakers far receiver's center channel is not amplified, you must ect an amplifier to the receiver. Use an RCA cable to connect the center channel RCA-type output on the receiver to the RCA-type input on the amplifier. The speaker will then connect directly to the amplifier instead of to the receiver. Note: Before running speaker cord through a wall or under a floor, check your local building code requirements and safely regulations. You may want to contact an electrical installer for this information. CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from the AC power (mains) outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to your system. For the Model V-100 speaker, choose cord It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. Standard zip cord (2-conductor, 18-gauge wire) works for most applications. You can find this wire at electrical and hardware stores. At the ends of each cord, strip approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires. Twist the bare end of each wire, so loose strands will not touch across terminals. CAUTION: Never use broken or frayed wiring, which can result in damage to your components. For V-300- speakers, use the supplied cord Use the supplied 20-foot cord to connect the video speaker that is close to your television. Use the two 50-foot cords to connect the surround speakers placed at the rear of your : To place the surround speakers more than 50 feet from the receiver or amplifier, splice in 18-gauge (0.75 mat) or thicker wire. Make sure to attach the wires positive to positive and negative to negative. Be sure to use the cordproperly Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked (striped, collared, or ribbed). This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (-). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (-) terminals on the speaker and the receiver or amplifier. Note: it is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully •
