Choosing the speaker cord

It is important

use the proper gauge (thickness)

speaker cord. Standard zip cord (2-con-

ductor, 18-gauge or .82 mm2wire or larger)

recommended for most applications.

You

can

find this wire at most electrical and hardware stores.

If the length

speaker wire extends more than 20 feet

from areceiver or amplifier, refer

"Wire recommendations" on page 9or contact your authorized Bose dealer for more infor-

mation.

Running the speakercord through awall

under

afloor

Make sure you have enough cord

reach from the receiver

each speaker. 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 speakercord

Speaker cord consists

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 (-) ter-

minals on the speaker, receiver, or amplifier.

)Note: It is sometimes difficult to distinguish wire markings. Inspect both wires carefully

prepare the ends

the cord, strip approximately %

Y2-inch

(10-12 mm)

insulation

from both wires. Then, twist the bare ends

each wire so there are no loose strands

wire.

AWARNING: Never use broken

frayed wire, as damage

electrical

shock

may

result.

Making the connections

Connect your speaker wire to the SPEAKERS Aor MAIN (front) left and right speaker outputs

on your amplifier or receiver. See your receiver owner's guide for any additional information or

instructions.

A. CAUTION: Before making

any

and

unplug it from the

power

mains. Failure

may

result in damage to your system.
