terminals have corresponding (+)
and (–) terminals. It is important
to connect both speakers
identically: (+) on the speaker to
(+) on the amplifier and (–) on the
speaker to (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring “out of phase” results in
thin sound, weak bass and a poor
stereo image.
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. The hole in
the center of each collar is
With the advent of multichannel

the speaker that was not working
now sounds fine; or whether it
has moved, i.e., the speaker that
was not working still has no
sound and the speaker that was
working is still fine. If the problem
is in the same place, the source of
the problem is most likely with

receiver/amplifier.
If there is no (or low) bass output:
• Make sure the polarities
(+ and –)of the left and right
“Speaker Inputs” are connected
properly.
If there is no sound coming
from one speaker:
• Check the “Balance” control on
your receiver/amplifier.

between receiver/amplifier
and speakers. Make sure no
wires are touching other wires or
terminals and creating a short
circuit.
If there is no sound from
the center speaker:
• Check all wires and connections
between receiver/amplifier and
speaker. Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed, cut
or punctured.

the speaker wires are frayed, cut
or punctured.

If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as volume
is increased:

in Dolby Pro Logic* mode, make
sure the center speaker is not in
phantom mode.
• Check all wires and connections
between receiver/amplifier
and speakers.
• If your receiver/processor
is set in Dolby Digital or DTS
mode, make sure the receiver/
processor is configured so that
the center speaker is enabled.
• Turn off all electronics and
switch the speaker in question
with one of the other speakers
that is working correctly. Turn
everything back on, and
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed, cut
or punctured.
