Satellite and Center Speaker Connections
CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that your receiver or
amplifier is turned OFF and its AC cord is unplugged from the AC power outlet.
Speakers and receivers/amplifiers 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 specific 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 defined by the CEA standard. This system
helps ensure that the speaker in each location is connected to the correct receiver or
amplifier 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 amplifier, and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the receiver or amplifier. 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
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
amplifier.

1. Connect the supplied LFE cable from your receiver's or processor's subwoofer output
to either of the transmitter unit's Input connectors.
• If your receiver/processor does not have a dedicated subwoofer output but does have
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.
