proper speaker connections(positive and negative)on receiver

I bought a used Samsung model HTF - 435 RK/ZX receiver and it did not have any speakers or wires attached to the unit so I do not know the correct way to connect the speakers (positive and negative) coming out of the receiver, it is not labeled. I am trying to hook it up but I want to make sure what side is positive and which side is negative. Please advise

ANSWERS:

"Hi Tony,

Do you mean model HTF453? I could not find any model HTF435 online. If it is HTF453, here is a link to the manual.

With speakers, the red clip is usually the positive, and black is the negative. In reality, you can connect it any way as long as you connect all of them that way. This is of course talking about speakers that are not self-powered and driven by the receiver amp.

Note that this receiver is originally sold in a 5.1 surround sound set, so it is probably built to drive specific speakers. What you connect to it may or may not work, depending on wattage."
