Crystal Audiovideo System Series User Manual

 
 
This section explains how to conect your speakers to your amplifier. 
 
•  Before connecting the speakers make sure that your amplifier is turned off. 
•  Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal 

amplifier. 

•  Connect the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each speaker to the corresponding 

plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier. 

•  If a biwire type of connection is used (except System 2, System 5 and System 

Dipole 4 that have single wire binding posts), the gold plated bridges must be taken 
off. Unscrew the binding post’s screws and pull off the two bridges. Tighten the 
screws. 

•  If you use bare speaker wire at the speaker terminals, remove the binding post’s 

screw and place the bare wire into the side opening of the terminal. Then tighten the 
screw.  

•  If a banana plug type is used, just push the plug into the binding post’s top hole.
