1. Strip about 3/8 in (10 mm) of insulation from each speaker wire.
2. Push down on the top of the terminal to expose the hole in the post.
3. Insert the bare wire through the hole. Make sure the wire does not touch any other terminals.
4. Release the push terminal to secure the wire.
5. Repeat these steps for the other terminal.

3 Adjust the speaker length

The speaker has a pair of symmetrically adjustable extensions that you can adjust to match the length of your TV. Use the included hex key to loosen the set screws on the back of the speaker, and slide the extensions so that the speaker is even with the edges of your TV. After you adjust the extensions, tighten the screws to lock the extensions in place.

Note: We recommend that you use a flat-head screwdriver to separate the extension from the sound bar.
