CAUTIO N RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. These CAUTION marks are located on the back panel of your 701® speakers: The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the system enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, as marked on the speakers, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions in this owner's guide. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, insert fully. [. . . ] For in-wall installation, check your local building code requirements. Before proceeding, you may want to contact an electrical installer for information about your local building or safety regulations. Preparing the speaker cord Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is marked (striped, collared, ribbed, or may have writing on it). This marked wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (­). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (­) terminals on the speaker, receiver, or amplifier. Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. To prepare the ends of the cord, strip approximately 3/8 to 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires. Then, twist the bare ends of each wire so there are no loose strands of wire. WARNING: Never use broken or frayed wiring, as damage or electrical shock may result. Making the connections Your 701® speaker system connects differently from conventional speaker systems. Both the LEFT and RIGHT outputs from your receiver or amplifier must connect to the left main 701 speaker. Please follow the connection instructions carefully to ensure proper performance. Figure 5 on page 7 indicates how the speakers are connected to the receiver. Connecting to the receiver Connect your speaker wire to the SPEAKERS A or MAIN (front) left and right speaker outputs on your amplifier or receiver. See your receiver owner's guide for any additional information or instructions. CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver and unplug it from the AC power mains. Failure to do so may result in damage to your system. 6 October 25, 2001 AM257817_00_V. pdf Setting Up Making the connections (cont. ) Figure 5 Wiring schematic L R er Output Input L R LFE/ Subwoofer L L R R 125/115C 225W Power Output Input LFE/ Subwoofer Receiver Left main speaker Press down the terminal tab on the bottom of the left main speaker to insert the appropriate wire (Figure 5).
