Preparing the cables and speakers
Center speaker
• Cut the included speaker cable to suitable lengths for the front, center, and surround
speakers. You need to make five cables altogether. Remove about 10 mm (3/8 in.) of
insulation from the end of each cable, and then twist the bare strands tightly.
• Connect the speaker cables to the front speakers (G), surround speakers (G), and center
speaker (H). Make sure you connect the speakers with the correct polarity—positive (+)
terminals to positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to negative (–) terminals.
