With the speakers positioned as desired, measure the distance from the
subwoofer to each satellite speaker, and from the subwoofer to your
amplifier.  Cut speaker wire to the needed lengths, including about a foot
of extra wire at each end for preparing the wires (see "Preparing the
Wires") and occasionally moving the speakers.

NOTES:  Use 18-gauge speaker wire for distances up to 25 feet.  Use 16-
        gauge (or larger) wire for distances greater than 25 feet.

        Your local Radio Shack store sells a wide selection of speaker
        wire.

Preparing the Wires

1.  Split each speaker wire's two conductors about 4 inches from each end.

2.  Remove 1/2-inch of insulation from each conductor's end and twist the
    strands at each end.

3.  Route the speaker wires from the amplifier to the subwoofer.  Then
    route the satellite speaker wires to the subwoofer.

Connecting the Wires

For minimum signal loss, maximum bass response, and best overall
performance, connect your subwoofer's positive (red) and negative (black)
terminals to the matching terminals on your satellite speakers and
amplifier that have the same polarity.

To help you make the proper connections, one side of each pair of speaker
wire conductors is marked with a stripe or grove, normally considered the
positive (+) polarity wire.

NOTE:  The insulation in some speaker wires is clear, and the separate
       conductors are brass and silver.  Use the brass wire as the positive
       (+) polarity wire.

1.  Connect your amplifier's left and right OUTPUT speaker terminals to the
    subwoofer's INPUT terminals.

2.  Connect the left satellite speaker's wires to the subwoofer's LEFT
    OUTPUT terminals.

3.  Connect the right satellite speaker's wires to the subwoofer's RIGHT
    OUTPUT terminals.

CAUTION:  Do not exceed this system's power handling capacity.  To avoid
          damage to the speaker system, set the amplifier's volume to its
          lowest setting before operating the stereo system's controls.

NOTE:  You can use the H/L (high/low) switch on the back of each satellite
       to adjust the tone of the satellites' tweeters.  Set the H/L to H
       for a "bright" sound, or L for a "flat" sound.
