User manual SONY XS-V6942A

[. . . ] The CR65, XS-V6942A and CR85 feature MagnaGuard® magnetic shielding for safe placement near any sized television set. The drivers are positioned very closely to each other for smooth, uniform radiation in both the horizontal and vertical planes. Within the cabinets are specially tapered braces that lock the front and rear baffles together and provide strength and rigidity, thus minimizing cabinet resonances. The rear-mounted vent is smoothly flared to reduce port turbulence, and all speakers feature five-way binding posts, allowing wiring with virtually any cable. [. . . ] The logo plate can be easily rotated in 90° increments to maintain the speaker's appearance when placing it on its side. 3 How to Connect Your Speakers Correctly wiring your speakers is important for achieving the best sound quality. Wiring should take just a few minutes, but it's important to do it carefully, since incorrect wiring (such as reversed connections) can result in a poor soundstage and poor bass. We recommend 18-gauge wire or thicker for runs up to 25 feet (8m), and 16-gauge wire or thicker for longer runs. Separate the first few inches of the wire conductors. Strip off 1/2" (12mm) of insulation from the ends of each speaker wire to expose the two conductors and tightly twist the wire strands. WARNING: To prevent electrical shock hazard, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speaker. When making all connections, be sure to connect the + (red) on the speaker to the + (red) on the amplifier, and the ­ (black) on the speaker to the ­ (black) on the amplifier. IMPORTANT: Typically, one side of the wire is smooth. Connect this side to the ­ (black) connection. Connect this to the + (red) connection. Using the five-way binding posts: The binding posts permit easy connection to banana plugs, spade lugs, and bare wire. Insert the wire in the hole and tighten. 4 Basic Hookup 1. Remove the grille by gently pulling on the back of the top lip where it meets the front baffle. There are four pegs on the back of the grille that will pop out of their respective sockets which are located in the baffle plate. Turn the grille over and locate the two light gray plastic spring tabs at the bottom center of the grille. Depress the tabs with the tips of your thumb and finger until they are flush with the round surface of the surrounding boss. You should hear a slight "click", indicating that the tabs are now unlocked. Turn the grille over and rotate the logo plate 90° in either direction to orient it to your desired position. Press the logo plate down until you hear the same "click" sound, thus locking it in place. NOTE: Although it is possible to rotate the logo plate in increments other than 90°, it will not lock into position unless it is set to one of the four 90° locations.
