SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (-) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (-) on the speaker to (-) on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker: • Check the Balance control on your receiver/amplifier. • Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. • Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased: • Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. • Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. • If more than one pair of speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier. If there is no (or low) bass output: • Make sure the polarities (+ and -) of the left and right Speaker Inputs are connected properly.

Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding
(+) and (–) terminals. It is
important to connect both
speakers identically: (+) on the
speaker to (+) on the amplifier
and (–) on the speaker to (–) on
the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor stereo
image.
If there is no sound from any of
the speakers
:
• Check that the receiver/
amplifier is on and a source
is playing.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming from
one speaker:
• Check the Balance control on
your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed,
cut or punctured.
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as volume
is increased:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers.
• Make sure all wires are con-
nected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut
or punctured.
• If more than one pair of
speakers is being used, check
the minimum impedance
requirements of your
receiver/amplifier.
If there is no (or low) bass
output:
•
Make sure the polarities (+ and –)
of the left and right Speaker
Inputs are connected properly.
