3. Disconnect your receiver or amplifier from the AC power (mains) outlet.
4. Locate the speaker outputs on your receiver. Connect the other ends of the wire from the
left channel of the Acoustimass module to the terminals marked L or LEFT. Make sure that
the marked wire is connected to the positive (+) and the plain wire is connected to the
negative (–) terminal.
5. Repeat these last two steps for the right channel.
6. Your set-up is complete. Plug in your receiver, turn the system on, and enjoy your Acousti-

CAUTION: Before you plug in your receiver or amplifier, make sure that no strands of wire
from any terminal are brushing against any other terminal. Such “bridged” wires create short
circuits which can damage your receiver or amplifier.
