For connection, keep the speaker cables as short as 
possible. Do not bundle or roll up the excess part of the 
cables. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard 
from the subwoofer or the speakers, or both of them. Make 
sure that the + and – polarity markings of the speaker 
cables are observed and set correctly. If these cables are 
reversed, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. 

■Before connecting

Remove the insulation coating at the extremity of each 
speaker cable by twisting the coating off.

■How to connect:

1

Press and hold the terminal’s tab, as shown in the 
figure.

2

Insert the bare wire.

3

Release your finger from the tab to allow it to lock 
securely on the cable’s wire end.

4

Test the firmness of the connection by pulling lightly 
on the cable at the terminal.

After all connections are completed, plug in the subwoofer 
and other audio/video components to the AC outlet.
