the TV without picture discoloration. The center

STEP 3 - Connecting The Speakers
Connect the speakers as shown in the diagram on
the right. using the wires supplied with the speakers.
To make it easier, we've removed the insulation from
the ends of the wires.
* Be sure to connect the (+) terminals on the
receiver to the (+) terminals on the speakers,
and the (-) terminals on the receiver to the (-)
terminals on the speakers. Connecting (+) to (-)
can cause poor sound quality.
« Never allow the (+) and (-) speaker wires to
touch each other. Touching wires can cause a
short circuit, which could damage the receiver.
