Connecting the speakers
■ Preparing the speaker cables
Once you've positioned the speakers, you'll need to cut
the 24.5-meter (80 ft.) speaker cable to make five
cables for connecting the two front speakers, center
speaker, and the two surround speakers.
1
Cut the included speaker cable to suitable
lengths for the front, center, and surround
speakers. You need five cables.
2
Remove about 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from
the end of each speaker cable.
3
Twist the bare wires tightly.
10 mm (3/8")
Good
Note
• Make the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not
bundle or roll up excess cable.
• Be careful not to trip on the speaker cable.
Otherwise, the speaker may tip over, possibly
resulting in personal injury.
• Twist the bare wires tightly so the individual strands
are not splayed.
• Be careful not to injure yourself while preparing the
speaker cables.

Release the tab so that it closes securely on the
bare wire, not the insulation.
4
Test the security of the connection by pulling
gently on the cable.
Note
• Make sure the bare wires do not touch each other, as
this could damage the speaker or the amplifier.
• If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound
from the speakers.

insulation.
■ For the front speakers
1
After connecting the cable, fit it into the
groove on the rear panel of each Bottom.
Pass the cable behind the four
projections.
2
After the cable is fit in place down to the Base,
pass the cable through the hole in the Base.
Pull the cable gently from the underside of the
Base and pass it through the notch on the
