Hello
I just purchased a Panasonic SC-BT203 Home Theatre System and am having a problem with the speaker wires. I just moved into a home that was pre-wired for surround sound. It already had the wires coming out of the outlets ready for speakers. One the other end of those wires were the wire pins ready to plug into a system. My problem is this, the wires for the home theatre system I just bought have colored coded connectors on one end that are made specifically to connect to the system. The other end of the wire cord allow for the speakers to be connected to the wires themselves. Can I cut the wires which are currently installed, the ends that have the pins and connect them the the ends with the colored connectors, and that way I can connect those connectors to the system? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Yes you can splice the ends onto the existing wires, but first make sure the ends are labeled + or - and make sure you hook the other ends to the speakers the correct way. Before you cut the connectors off of the speaker wires mark one of each of the pairs of the wires with tape, on each side of where you cut it so you can match the wires back up. Are the pre-wired, wires labeled + and -? or red and black? Or one of each pair is a different color wire ie silver and copper? If they aren't labeled its going to be hard to get the correct polarity (+ and -) for each speaker. I hope this helps post back if you have any problems.
