1. Pull the power plug of your amplier/AV receiver out or multi-
channel active subwoofer of the outlet.
2. Lay the speaker cables from your amplier/AV receiver or
multi-channel active subwoofer to each speaker. These

back side of each speaker, to which you have to connect the
speaker cables.
The terminal clips are each marked red (+) and black (-).

clamped in place.

Problem Possible cause Solution
Playback is noisy. In general, the speaker is very low-noise. In
most cases, the speaker system with excep-
tional resolution in the high range area can
expose the poor quality of a signal source
(e.g. from MP3 les).
Ensure that the source is sending a clear signal.
The sound seems dull. The speakers have been connected with the
wrong poles.
Verify the correct connection of the cables for all speak-
ers.
