 Figure 4. Wiring diagram shows polarity connections for 
one channel of a home theater system.
 Figure 5. The satellites and center channel speaker feature 
terminals that can be connected in several different ways 
– e.g., spade terminals and direct wiring (as shown here).
 Center and Satellite Speaker Connections 
 Turn Off All Power
After placing the speakers, you are ready to connect your 
system. First, turn off all audio-system power. 
Use the speaker wire included (or similar) to make your 
connections. The side of the wire with a ridge or other 
coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +). 
Satellites
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, 
as shown in Figure 4. Connect each + terminal on the 
back of the subwoofer to the respective + (red) termi-
nal on each speaker. Connect the – (black) terminals in 
the same way.
Center Channel
Observe polarities when making speaker connections, 
as shown in Figure 5. Connect the center channel + 
terminal on the back of the subwoofer to the + (red) 
terminal on the center speaker. Connect the – (black) 
terminals in the same way.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to –, or – to +) when 
making connections. Doing so will cause poor imaging 
and diminished bass response. Be certain that positive 
and negative wire strands are completely isolated to avoid 
short circuits that may damage your equipment.
NOTE:
 A small socket wrench is provided to help in prop-
erly tightening the terminals. Hand-tighten only and do 
not overtighten.
