SPEAKER PLACEMENT

For the best stereo image, place a pair of speakers so the distance
between them is about the same as the distance between the listening
area and the point halfway between the speakers.

If you must place the speakers farther apart, turn them slightly inward.
If you must place them closer to each other, turn them slightly outward.
Experiment with your speaker's placement to discover the best location
for them.


CONNECTIONS

The local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of speaker wire.  We
recommend you use color-coded or marked wire to help you correctly connect
the wire.  Color-coded wires have a stripe running down one of the
conductors and marked wires have ridges along one of the conductors.

With the speakers in their approximate locations, measure the distance
from each speaker to your receiver/amplifier.  Use 18-gauge speaker wire
(not supplied) for distances up to 50 feet.  Use 16-gauge speaker wire
(not supplied) for distances greater than 50 feet.

1.  Separate the wire's two conductors at both ends for a length of about
    4 inches.

2.  Strip the insulation from the ends of each conductor to expose 1/4-
    inch of metal wire.

3.  Connect one end of the colored or marked conductor to your receiver/
    amplifier's right positive (+) terminal and one end of the other
    conductor to the receiver/amplifier's right negative (-) terminal.

4.  Route the wire to your right speaker.

5.  Press down the right speaker's red tab, located on the back of the
    speaker, insert the other end of the colored or marked conductor
    into the opening, then release the tab.

6.  Follow the same procedure to connect the plain or unmarked speaker
    wire to the right speaker's black tab.

7.  Repeat steps 3-6 to connect the left speaker.

Note:  For maximum bass response and best overall performance, connect
       your speakers so they are in phase with the amplifier (connect +
       with + and - with -).
