LU43P-LU53P CONNECTION & TROUBLESHOOTING
Connecting Speakers
STEP 1
Unscrew the caps covering each binding post until you
expose the small hole through their centers.
These caps are typically colored red and black, and
represent positive and negative terminals, respectively.
STEP 2
Twist the bare speaker wire to create a single strand.
STEP 3
Insert each side into the exposed holes.
STEP 4
Tighten the cap to secure the wire in place.
The speaker wires must be securely inserted into
the connector and
tightened properly to the speaker inputs. Do not over-tighten. Do not allow
the positive and negative speaker wire from the receiver to make contact, as
this will cause a short.
Banana style connectors may also be used on the LU53. The connection is
made by connecting the speaker wire to the banana plugs, and then inserting
the banana plug into the top portion of the binding posts.
Troubleshooting
If you hear obvious distortion from the speakers, immediately lower the volume
level of your receiver. Those sounds often indicate that either the receiver or the
speaker is being overdriven, and damage can result in playing your source
material (music-CDs-DVD-MP3) at high volume levels for prolonged periods of
time. You should also avoid turning the bass or treble controls fully up and using
your "Loudness button" when the volume level is at or above normal listening
levels. Note: The Loudness button on most receivers is designed to add depth
when your system is being used for background music or at very low volume.
Distorted or unnatural sound can indicate poor connections, defective electronics,
damaged source material or speaker failure. If only one of your speakers has
poor sound quality, check the speaker wire and audio connections. If that doesn’t
fix the problem, try putting each speaker in place of one another (swapping). If
the sound remains poor on the suspect speaker after swapping location and the
distortion moves with the speaker to the new location, the speaker may be the
problem. If the distortion remains in the original location then the problem is
elsewhere in your audio/video system
