CONNECTIONS
CAUTION:
Make
sure
that
all
of
the
system's electrical components
are
turned
OFF (and
preferably
unplugged
from
their
AC outlets)
before
making
any
connections.
Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and
negative(
"
+"
and"-")
connection terminals. All Arena series
speakers have
connect
ion terminals
that
are
marked"+"
and"
- "
on
the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally,
the"+"
terminals have red markings, while
the"-"
terminals have black markings.
To ensure proper polarity,
connect
each"+"
terminal
on
the
back
of
the
amplifier
or
receiver
to
the
respective "
+"
(red)
terminal
on
each speaker. Connect
the"-"
term
inals in a similar
way
. Do
not
reverse polarities
(i.e
.
,"+"
to"-
"
or
"
-"
to
"+")
when
making connections. Doing
so
will cause
poor
stereo
imaging
and diminished
bass
performance.
IMPORTANT:
Make
sure
the(+)
and(-)
wires
or
connectors
do
not
touch each
other
or
the
other
terminal.
Touching wires can cause a shortcircuit
that
can
damage
your
receiver
or
amplifier.
