Connect and install your Music10
speakers.
Before attaching any wires always make sure
that your receiver or other power source is
turned off.
Connection tips.
Carefully plan your wire paths. Remember that
speaker wires go to the subwoofer before going
to satellite speakers. Be sure to allow plenty of
extra wire to hide wires in corners, along base-
boards, etc. Wait until you test the system to
conceal wires.

Speakers and electronics terminals have corre-
sponding (+) and (–) terminals. It is important
to connect both speakers identically: (+) red
speaker to (+) red amplifier and (–) black
speaker to (–) black amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and
poor stereo effect.
The two wires in any speaker cable are typically
differentiated in one of the following ways: one
wire is copper and the other silver, or one has a
raised rib or a thin colored line on its insulated
cover and the other doesn’t. Either wire can
attach to (+) or (–) as long as all components are
connected identically.
Assure that no strands from either wire cross
between terminals and touch the opposite con-
nection. The “short circuit” that results may
damage components in your system.
Be careful not to insert the stripped end of the
wire too far into the terminal, which may cause
you to prevent contact of wire to the connection.

The Bass10 subwoofer
has been designed to simplify connection of
your Music10 system to your amplifier/
receiver. Connect the left and right speaker
outputs of your amplifier to the appropriate
“Amplifier Inputs” on the Bass10. Then connect
the Satellite outputs to the left and right Sat10s.

Take a “test drive” with some favorite music.
11
With the receiver/amplifier still turned off,
confirm that its volume control is turned all the
way down. Next, center the balance control. If
the receiver/amplifier has an A/B speaker switch,
set it to correspond to the speaker terminals
connected to the Music10 system.
22
Now, turn on your receiver/amplifier and
select a music source such as a CD player,
cassette deck or FM tuner.
33
Turn up the volume control gently until you
hear sound from the speakers.
44
Rotate the balance control all the way to the
left. Sound should come only from the left
speaker. If the sound comes from the right
speaker with the balance control to the left, the
speaker wires have been reversed during hook-
up. Turn the receiver/amplifier “off” and switch
both sets of speaker wires.
Troubleshooting.
NNoo ssoo uunndd aatt aallll ffrroo mm aannyy oo ff tthhee ssppeeaakkeerr ss ..
• The tape monitor button on your receiver/
amplifier may be pushed in, preventing use of
the CD player, FM tuner or other input. Check
button position.
• If your receiver/amplifier has both “A” and “B”
sets of speaker outputs, the wrong set of
speakers may be selected. Select the other set
or switch the wires to the preferred set.
• The sound source (CD player, cassette deck,
etc.) may not be turned “on,” not activated, or
not selected on front panel of the receiver/
amplifier. Check settings.

• The balance control may be turned all the way
to the left or right. Check balance.
• One of the connections between the sound
source and the receiver/ amplifier is faulty or
has become disconnected. Check connections.
• Speaker wire to these speakers has become
disconnected at the speaker, or the receiver/
amplifier. Check connections.
