CONNECTION TIPS
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Separate and strip the ends of
the speaker wire as shown.
Speakers and electronics
terminals have corresponding
(+) and (–) terminals. Most
manufacturers of speakers
and electronics, including
JBL, use red to denote the
(+) terminal and black for the
(–) terminal.
The (+) lead of the speaker
wire is noted with a stripe.
It is important to connect
both speakers identically: (+)
on the speaker to (+) on the
amplifier and (–) on the
speaker to (–) on the amplifier.
Wiring “out of phase” results
in thin sound, weak bass and
a poor stereo image.
With the advent of multichan-
nel surround sound systems,
connecting all of the speakers
in your system with the cor-
rect polarity remains equally
important in order to preserve
the proper ambience and
directionality of the program
material.
To connect the supplied
speaker wires to the
speaker terminals, press the
red or black plastic tab for
the desired terminal, insert
the bare end of the wire into
the hole and release the tab.
Gently tug on the wire to
make sure that it is fully
inserted.
