NOTES:
•Make sure that the speaker cords are connected to the
terminals securely. Insecure connections may cause not
only sound to be interrupted and noise to be generated
but also the cords to be shorted and the amplifier to break
down.
•When listening to a stereo performance with the speaker
system connected to a stereo amplifier, you will find that
the bass is insufficient, the sound is not spread out and
there is no stereo effect if the cords of one of the speaker
systems have been plugged into the wrong polarity ter-
minals.
