CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: Make sure that all of the system's electrical components are turned OFF (and preferably
unplugged from their AC outlets) before making any connections.
Speakers and amplifiers have corresponding positive and negative ("+" and "–") connection terminals. All Arena series
speakers have connection terminals that are marked "+" and "–" on the terminal-cup assembly. Additionally, the "+"
terminals have red markings, while the "–" terminals have black markings.
To ensure proper polarity, connect each "+" terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the respective "+" (red)
terminal on each speaker. Connect the "–" terminals in a similar way. Do not reverse polarities (i.e., "+" to "–" or "–" to "+")
when making connections. Doing so will cause poor stereo imaging and diminished bass performance.
IMPORTANT : Make sure the (+) and (–) wires or connectors do not touch each other or the other terminal.

CARING FOR YOUR SPEAKERS
• Do not place objects on top of the speaker.
• Wipe the cabinet with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust. Damp cloths may dull the cabinet finish. Do not use volatile
liquids or solvents such as benzene, paint thinner or alcohol on the cabinet.
• Do not spray chemicals near the cabinet.
• To remove dust from the grille fabric, use a vacuum cleaner set to "low" suction.
• Do not wash the grilles in water, as it may fade the color or make them uneven.
• If the woofer cones become dusty, you can carefully sweep them clean with a soft, dry calligraphy brush or paint
brush. Do not use a damp cloth.
• NEVER touch the tweeter dome or put anything against it.
