HTS-102 Home Theater System
Your HTS-102 home theater system includes the STAV3770 receiver (RadioShack 31-3042, with its owner’s manual and accessories), two front speakers, two surroundsound (rear) speakers, one center speaker, and one subwoofer. All you need to add to have a complete home theater system are an audio/video input source (stereo Hi-Fi
VCR or DVD/LD player) and a TV.
For receiver instructions and the HTS-102’s warranty, refer
to the STAV-3770 Owner’s Manual. The instructions on
the next few pages only cover basic home theater and
speaker connections. Before making any connections, see
“Positioning Speakers” on Page 5 of the STAV-3770 Owner’s Manual to choose the best locations for your speakers.

Caring for Your Speakers
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and
dirt.
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted with water, then
wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax
or cleaners.
• Never use thinner, benzene, insecticide sprays, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinets.
• Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the grille cloth.

Your HTS-102 system includes all speaker wires required
for speaker connections. Each speaker wire consists of
two conductors (individual wires) encased in insulation
and is color-coded so you can identify each conductor (the
color mark is on only one of the conductors in each speaker wire pair). Use these colors as a guide to help you properly connect the speakers.
If the supplied speaker wires are too short for your connections, you can purchase additional wire at your local
RadioShack store. Use 16-gauge (or larger) speaker wire
for all speaker connections.
When connecting each conductor to a speaker terminal,
hold down the terminal lever, insert the conductor’s end
into the small hole, and release the terminal lever to secure the conductor.
When connecting each conductor to the receiver, press
open the terminal lever, insert the conductor’s end into the
small hole, and press the lever closed to secure the conductor.

Wall Mounting the Speakers
To mount the speakers on a wall, you need wood screws with heads that fit into the keyhole slot on the back of each speaker. Make sure the wall surface and screws you use are appropriate for the weight of the speakers. Keep in mind that the
speaker’s vibration will affect the surface, so we do not recommend mounting on plywood boards or other soft-surface
walls.
Drill a hole and thread a screw into the wall, letting the head extend about 1/4 inch (6 mm) from the wall. Align the keyhole
slot with the mounting screw and slide the speaker downward to secure it.
