Attaching and Removing the Grille It is recommended that this speaker system be used with the grille net attached, but it can be removed if desired. To remove, follow these instructions: 1 To remove the grille, place your fingers at the outside of the grille toward the bottom and pull gently outward. Then do the same at the top to detach. 2 To reattach the grille, hold the speaker grille with the triangular symbol pointing upward, then align the four pins on the back side of the grille with the holes in the speaker and press in firmly. • If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp. • When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you won't be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, -) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed. CAUTION These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts. D3-4-2-2-3_A_En Connections This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier. Connecting the cables 1 Switch off the power to your amplifier. 2 Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals (lower) on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative (-). Red terminal (+) Black terminal (−) Hot-side speaker cord Common-side speaker cord 3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp instruction manual). • Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires. • You can also connect the speaker's terminals with a banana plug. • When using a banana plug, first remove the caps covering the speaker terminal. • After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound. 4 En
