CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure
proper polarity of connection. We recommend a minimum of 18 gauge for runs up to 25 feet, and thicker for
longer runs.
Most loudspeaker cable is coded to ease this task. Typically the ribbed or striped side is connected to the
positive (red) terminal. Make sure that the amplifier positive (red) terminal is connected to the loudspeaker
positive (red) terminal. Strip off ½" of insulation from the ends of the cable, twist the bare strands and insert
into the binding posts. Take care that no stray strands of wire short across between the terminals.

2: Connect each speaker cable (not supplied) to one set of
the receiver's speaker output terminals and the speaker input
terminals. The red terminal is the positive (+), and the black
Négative
terminal is the negative (–). Make sure that the receiver positive
(red) terminal is connected to the speaker positive (red) terminal.

USING FEET WITH THE SP-C21 CENTER-
CHANNEL SPEAKER
Included in the SP-C21 carton are (2) feet for the SP-C21
to rest on. Place the feet at the desired location of the
Alambre que va al terminal
speaker. They can be spaced a variety of widths apart

for installation flexibility. Once the SP-C21 is placed on
the feet, tilt the speaker to the desired angle, depending
on the location of the speaker in relation to the desired
listening position.
NOTE: Do not use adhesive or screws to attach the feet
to the speaker. Doing this will damage the cabinet and
void the warranty.
PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
Correct placement is important for maximizing the sound
quality of your loudspeaker system. Take time to experiment
with positioning according to the guidelines below.
Using the SP-FS51-LR or SP-BS21-LR as Front and
Surround Speakers
For best results the tweeter should be positioned near
ear level and the loudspeakers separated a distance
approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the
loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the
image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity
to a side or rear wall will enhance the bass performance,
although too close (particularly a corner location) and the
bass may be unnaturally high and image performance
may be degraded. Best results will be obtained when
the loudspeaker is placed approximately 2 feet from the
wall. If a corner location is unavoidable, try to position the
loudspeaker so that the distance to the rear wall is not
equal to the distance to the side wall.
