Proper placement of the speak-
ers is an important step in
obtaining the most realistic
soundstage possible. These
recommendations are for the
optimum placement of the loud-

speakers. Use these placement
recommendations as a guide.
Slight variations will not dimin-
ish your listening pleasure. 

Speakers and electronics termi-
nals have corresponding posi-
tive (+) and negative (–) termi-
nals. It is important to connect
both speakers identically: posi-
tive (+) on the speaker to posi-
tive (+) on the amplifier and
negative (–) on the speaker to
negative (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring “out of phase” results 
in thin sound, weak bass and 
a poor stereo image. 

With the advent of multichannel
surround sound systems, con-
necting all of the speakers in
your system with the correct
polarity remains as important as
ever in order to preserve the
proper ambience and direction-

ality of the program material.

To use the binding-post speaker
terminals, unscrew the colored
collar until the pass-through
hole in the center post is visible
under the collar. Insert the bare
end of the wire through this
hole; then screw the collar
down until the connection is
tight.
