Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Front left and right speakers (SKF-518F) These output the main sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image.

To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach two of the supplied thick rubber stoppers to the rear of each speaker. To mount the front or surround speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that’s securely screwed into the wall.
