GA-8IDX installation, help :)

If your cables/connectors are same as mine, the common factor is all have a
white lead - this is NEGATIVE ( - ).
However, switches and LED's are not polar-sensitive, so will work whichever
way round the cable is connected.
Speaker (4 connections) may be sensitive to polarity, but the board diagram
tells you which pin is negative.
