PREPARATION Connections Connecting audio devices Make sure to connect L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. If the connections are faulty, no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incorrect, the sound will be unnatural and lack bass. Refer to the owner’s manual for each of your components. Make sure to use RCA cables to connect audio components.
Connections • Do not bundle audio cables and speaker cables together with the power cord.
