CONNECTING

THE

SPEAKERS

FOR

STEREO

OPERATION

(1

SYSTEM)

Your

two

speakers

should

be

identical,

if

possible,

to

obtain

optimum

results.

Experts

agree

that

a

perfectly

matched

system

offers

the

best

stereo-

phonic

reproduction.

The

speakers

should

be

placed

along

the

same

wall

ap-

proximately

8

to

10

feet

apart

depending

upon

room

size

and

furniture

place-

ment.

It

may

be

necessary

to

experiment

with

speaker

placement

until

best

results

are

obtained.

Use

any

type

of

wire

to

connect

your

speakers

to

your

receiver.

Lamp

cord

"zip

cord"

is

excellent

and

may

be

easily

dressed

around

the

molding

for

an

inconspicuous

and

neat

installation.

Do

not

drive

the

staples

or

tacks

through

the

center

of

the

wire

for

this

may

short

out

the

two

sections

and

will

decrease

the

overall

volume

or

short

out

the

speakers

entirely.

It

is

permissible

to

use

approxi•

mately

50

feet

of

speaker

connecting

wire

for

each

speaker

without

loss

of

volume.
