[. . . ] 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). These wires correspond to the red (+) and black (­) terminals on the speaker, receiver, or amplifier. 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). Connect one cord to the left speaker output of your receiver or amplifier. Connect the other end of the cord to the left (L) main speaker terminals (Figure 5). Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the right (R) speaker connections. Note: The right speaker outputs are located on the left main speaker directly below the left speaker outputs. They are labeled with an R. Connecting the right accessory speaker to the left main speaker Use the supplied Bose® interconnect cable to make this connection. It is important to note the connector at each end is designed to be inserted in one orientation only. Match the curved top of the connector to the curved top of the jack on the rear connector cups. CAUTION: Never connect the right accessory speaker directly to a receiver output. Always connect the right accessory speaker to the left main speaker, then connect the left main speaker to the receiver.
