CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that your receiver or
amplier is turned OFF and its AC cord is unplugged from the AC power outlet.
Speakers and receivers/ampliers have corresponding (+) and (–) connection terminals.
Most electronics makers use red to denote the (+) terminal and black for the (–) terminal.
Newer Harman Kardon receivers conform to the CEA standard and use specic colors to
denote the (+) terminals of the speaker positions. See the table in Color-Coding System,
on page 4.
Each speaker wire included with your system has colored bands at both ends of the (+)
conductor that correspond with the colors dened by the CEA standard. This system
helps ensure that the speaker in each location is connected to the correct receiver or
amplier terminals. In addition to the colored bands at each end, each speaker wire’s (+)
terminal has ribs molded into its insulation to help you identify it.

It is very important to connect each speaker identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the
receiver or amplier, and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver or amplier. Miswiring
one or more speakers results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the
advent of multichannel surround-sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your
system correctly is very important to achieving the proper ambience and directionality of
surround-sound program material.
Connecting Satellite Speakers without the Supplied Bases
+
A) Push Down on Cap
to Open Hole
B) Insert Bare Wire
into Open Hole
C) Release Cap
to Secure Wire
Insert the conductor with the colored band into the speaker’s red (+) terminal, and insert
the other conductor into the speaker’s black (–) terminal.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the other
terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or
amplier.
Connecting Satellite Speakers with the Supplied Bases
1. Remove the speaker’s base (see Shelf Placement, on page 5).
2. Pass the speaker wire through the opening in the speaker’s base.
3. Connect the speaker wires as described above.
4. Reattach the speaker’s base, as shown in the illustration.

a set of preamp-level (volume-controlled) line outputs, use a stereo audio cable (not
supplied) to connect them to both of the transmitter unit’s Input connectors
2. Connect the transmitter power supply to the Power connector, and into a working AC
outlet,
3. Set the Wireless Code switches on the transmitter unit and subwoofer to the same
position.
