Directions for Hooking Up a Koss Surround Sound

Koss surround sound systems contain a receiver with integral DVD player, four satellite speakers, a center speaker and a powered subwoofer. The speakers interact with standard wires; put in a TELEVISION and AV cables to setup an entire home entertainment system. The Koss receiver has labeled connection jacks on the rear for simplified setup. Just follow the colour codes to connect the machine in under 30 minutes.

Place the four satellite speakers in the area with two speakers flanking it and another pair behind the primary seating area. The middle speaker could be set above or below it. Place the subwoofer on the ground anywhere where it's not going to be in the manner. Cut five lengths of speaker wire for connecting the Koss receiver with the five speakers, then strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends. Attach wires to each speaker by raising the spring clips on the rear of the speaker and inserting a wire in each hole. The red wire connects to the positive terminal. Another wire connects to the negative. Insert the plug on a single end of the subwoofer cable that accompany the machine to the jack on the rear of the Koss sub, then plug another end to the Sub Out jack on the rear of the receiver. Connect the color-coded plugs on the component cables to the red, green and blue Video Out jacks on the rear of the Koss receiver, then insert the plugs on another end to the matching Video In jacks on the rear panel of it. Plug the ability cords for the Koss receiver, subwoofer and TELEVISION to the power strip, which may be connected to a wall outlet.
