XTS 23 MINI SPEAKERS
(400-0231)                 Connections                Faxback Doc. # 34778

Your local Radio Shack store has a wide selection of speaker wire.  We
recommend you use color-coded or marked wire to help you correctly connect
the wire.  Color-coded wires have a stripe running down one side of the
conductors.  Marked wire have ridges along one of the conductors.

With the speakers in their approximate locations, measure the distance from
each speaker to your receiver / amplifier.  Use 18-gauge speaker wire (not
supplied) for distances up to 50 feet.  Use 16-gauge speaker wire (not
supplied) for distances greater than 50 feet.

1.  Separate the wire's two conductors at both ends for a length of about 4
    inches.

2.  Strip the insulation from the ends of each conductor to expose 1/4-inch
    of metal wire and twist the loose strands together.

3.  Connect one end of the colored or marked conductor to your receiver /
    amplifier's right positive (+) terminal and the same end of the other
    conductor to the receiver / amplifier's right negative (-) terminal.

4.  Route the speaker wire to your right speaker.

5.  Press down the red tab below right speaker's positive (+) terminal,
    located on the back of the speakers.  Insert the other end of the
    colored or marked conductor into the opening, then release the tab.

6.  Follow the same procedure to connect the plain or unmarked speaker wire
    to the right speaker's negative (-) terminal.

7.  Repeat Step 1-6 to connect the left speaker.

NOTE:  For maximum bass response and best overall performance, connect your
       speakers so they are in phase with the amplifier (+ to + and - to -).
