RE: Capacitor Orientation

Assuming that -V is the negative voltage rail, you should orient the capacitor with the green lead (outside foil) towards ground (-V). the Red or inside foil is the input side or +V. Current flows from positive to negative and the leads color code it from inside foil (+V or red) to outside foil (-V or green). Hope that this helps you out. This is the same orientation that you should install the capacitors for audio signal flow also.
