3770 receiver (RadioShack 31-3042, with its owner’s man-

ual and accessories), two front speakers, two surround-

Caring for Your Speakers

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and

dirt.

• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth

dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted with water, then

wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax

or cleaners.

• Never use thinner, benzene, insecticide sprays, or

other chemicals on or near the cabinets.

• Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the grille cloth.

Connecting Speakers

Your HTS-102 system includes all speaker wires required

for speaker connections. Each speaker wire consists of

two conductors (individual wires) encased in insulation

and is color-coded so you can identify each conductor (the

color mark is on only one of the conductors in each speak-

er wire pair). Use these colors as a guide to help you prop-

erly connect the speakers.

If the supplied speaker wires are too short for your con-

nections, you can purchase additional wire at your local

RadioShack store. Use 16-gauge (or larger) speaker wire

for all speaker connections.

When connecting each conductor to a speaker terminal,

hold down the terminal lever, insert the conductor’s end

into the small hole, and release the terminal lever to se-

cure the conductor.

When connecting each conductor to the receiver, press

open the terminal lever, insert the conductor’s end into the

small hole, and press the lever closed to secure the con-

ductor.

Notes:

• Be sure you connect the receiver’s right and left posi-

tive (+) and negative (–) terminals to the speaker’s

corresponding right and left positive (+) and negative

(–) terminals.

• Do not connect two pairs of speakers to a single set of

terminals.

• Surround speakers generally sound best if you posi-

tion them above ear level.
