HT60.book Page 3 Monday, April 2, 2007 6:28 PM HT60 Introduction NOTE: Check your system immediately. If it has been damaged in transit, report the damage immediately by calling your AR dealer. Please follow the directions in this manual to achieve the best performance from your system. The hook-up and operation of the subwoofer is the same for a home theater surround system and a stereo music system. The subwoofer has a built-in amplifier, making it compatible with any sound system.

HT60.book Page 5 Monday, April 2, 2007 6:28 PM HT60 Surround System Configuration The optimum listening position is at the tip of the “stereo triangle.” The equilibrium between the right and left stereo channels is best in this position, providing the most balanced and realistic sound reproduction. Your AR speakers will operate most efficiently when located in parts of the room with “hard” acoustics, i.e., areas including hard, smooth surfaces such as walls and wooden furniture.
HT60.book Page 6 Monday, April 2, 2007 6:28 PM Connecting the Subwoofer IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your equipment, make sure the subwoofer and all components are turned off before making any connections. Subwoofer Placement Placement of your subwoofer will dramatically affect its performance. Your AR subwoofer is designed to work best when placed on the floor within 15 feet of your front speakers. For detailed accurate bass response, place your subwoofer near a wall, but away from a corner.
HT60.book Page 7 Monday, April 2, 2007 6:28 PM HT60 Subwoofer/Preamp Controls & Connections The amplifier and subwoofer controls are located on the back of the subwoofer cabinet, shown in Figure 3.
HT60.book Page 8 Monday, April 2, 2007 6:28 PM • Power cord: Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet. • MODE (AUTO ON/OFF): Move this switch to turn the AC supply OFF/ ON. When AUTO ON is selected, the Subwoofer remains in the stand-by mode until an audio signal is detected. (During standby mode, the front LED indicator remains un-lit, while the rear indicator is illuminated red.) After a few minutes without an audio signal, the Subwoofer automatically reverts to stand-by mode.
HT60.book Page 9 Monday, April 2, 2007 6:28 PM HT60 Installing your Surround Speakers The surround speakers are identical and can be used for any channel. Surround Speaker Placement Speaker placement is critical, and can make the difference between good and great sound quality. For optimum sound quality, position your front (main) surround speakers slightly in front of the video screen and turn them slightly inward (towards the center of the listening area).

Si ha sido dañado en tránsito, reporte el daño inmediatamente llamando a su distribuidor AR. Por favor siga las instrucciones de este manual para lograr el mejor desempeño de su sistema. La conexión y operación del altavoz de graves, llamado "subwoofer" en inglés, es el mismo para un sistema surround de home theater como para un sistema de música estéreo.

El equilibrio entre canales estéreos derecho e izquierda es mejor en esta posición, brindando la reproducción de sonido más balanceada y realista. Sus altavoces AR no operarán más eficientemente cuando estén ubicados en lugares de la habitación con acústica "dura", por ejemplo en áreas con superficies duras y lisas como paredes y muebles de madera.

WHT24 Introduction NOTE: Check your system immediately. If it has been damaged in transit, report the damage immediately by calling your AR dealer. The WHT24 wireless speaker system consists of a transmitter and two receivers that provide two independent audio channels and a quality-of-service channel that guarantees interference-free, uncompressed, full CD quality sound.

WHT24 Installing the Adjustable Spike Feet 1. Turn the receiver over, being careful not to scratch the top surface. 2. Turn hex nut to adjust spiked foot to desired height. 3. Insert threaded spike foot into one of the specified holes in the base of the receiver. 4. Turn the spike foot clockwise until tightened. Repeat for second receiver. FIGURE 2 - Installing the Adjustable Spike Feet 5. Turn receiver over and place spike feet inside flat metal holders, if desired.
Assembling the Wireless Speaker Stand The speaker stand comes in two FIGURE 4 - Speaker parts, with the speaker wire already Stand Assembly threaded through both poles. Please be careful when unpacking to ensure that the wire remains threaded durHT60 ing assembly. To assemble the Surround Speaker speaker stand: 1. Attach the Top Pole to the Threaded Bottom Pole by twistUpper/Top Pole ing the Locking Sleeve Nut over the bottom pole. 2. Attach the speaker pole to the Receiver Base.
WHT24 Connecting your Speakers The WHT24 wireless receivers are identical and can be used for either rear channel. 1. Locate the wiring coming from the top of the FIGURE 5 - Connecting speaker stand assembly. Your Speakers 2. Twist the end of each speaker wire. 3. Connect the wire to the back of the speaker, in phase. IMPORTANT: All speakers in a system must be connected with the same polarity. Connect the positive (+) terminal from the Receiver to the positive (+) terminal on the speaker.
Remote Receiver Controls & Connections The remote receiver controls and connectors are shown in Figure 6. FIGURE 6 - Remote Receiver Controls & Connections ON OFF L AUDIO R OFF • • • • D C IIN N LINK L AUDIO OFF R: Set switch to indicate if the attached speaker will represent the L or R rear surround position or set to AUDIO OFF. Power Adaptor In: Connect the enclosed power adaptor to the wireless receiver, then plug the power adaptor into your power outlet.
WHT24 Installing the Transmitter 1. The transmitter can be positioned vertically in the stand or it can sit horizontally without the stand, depending on where it will be placed. If using the stand, place the transmitter into the docking stand and secure stand with the attached screw. FIGURE 7 - Attach Transmitter to Docking Stand 2.
2. Connect the transmitter to your component receiver using either the speaker wire or RCA pre-output connections, being careful to match the wire colors.

WHT24 3. Connect the 6.3VAC power supply adapter labelled “FOR TRANSMITTER.” 4. Plug the transmitter into your power outlet (switched outlet recommended). 5. Turn the transmitter on by pressing the Power on/off button on the back of the transmitter. FIGURE 10 - Connect Power to Your Transmitter POWER BUTTON Link Power on/off 6.
Resetting the Channel Using the LINK Switch In the event there is another WHT24 in the vicinity, you can use the LINK switch to change the system address to avoid interference. Normally this is not necessary since the likelihood of another system being within radio range is rare. To determine the presence of another WHT24, perform the following steps: 1. Turn off your transmitter. 2. Watch the green LED indicator on the receiver for a flicker.
WHT24 NOTE: If you inadvertently slide the LINK switch on the transmitter, don't worry; the link address will only be changed if you deliberately press the receiver LINK button while the transmitter LED is blinking. The transmitter LED will simply stop flashing after a minute and nothing will have changed.
Troubleshooting No Sound A properly connected system will take 5-10 seconds to link upon initial power-on. This is normal. If there is still no sound, follow the steps listed below. 1. Make sure the transmitter input device is connected to the transmitter correctly. 2. Make sure the transmitter input selector switch is set correctly (speaker or RCA input). 3. Make sure the transmitter input device has program material (music, DVD, etc.) playing. 4.
WHT24 In the highly unlikely event your neighbor was attempting to re-link at the same time, it is possible to link your system to his. Should this happen, or if you have any doubts, repeat the linking operation. Your system will generate a new, unique address each time it is linked. Linking problems The system is designed to be "user friendly.
