Owner`s manual

3
The Definitive Technology ProCinema 60 System consists of six speakers:
four ProMonitor
®
60s, one ProCenter
®
60 and one ProSub
®
60. Normally two of the
ProMonitor 60s will be used as front speakers and two will be used as side or rear
surround speakers. These speakers can be used with any surround decoding technol-
ogy; however, since they will most often be used with Dolby Digital
*
receivers and
decoders, the instruction manual is written for Dolby Digital hook-ups (and DTS
which is hooked up the same way). If you are using an earlier ProLogic
*
receiver,
please contact Definitive customer service for specific instructions that apply to
your system.
ProCinema 60 Six-Piece Surround Sound System
Connecting Your Loudspeakers
Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud
levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not
driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember,
most amplifiers put out their full rated power well before the volume control
is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud,
turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.
Wiring up Your Speakers to Your Home Theater Surround Receiver
There are many different ways to wire your ProCinema 60 System to your home
theater surround receiver. In order to simplify this process, we will describe the two
most common methods. Method 1, which involves wiring your front left and right
ProMonitor 60s to your ProSub 60 and then wiring your ProSub 60 to your receiver, is
the preferred method in terms of sound quality — it will give you the best blending
between the satellite speakers and the sub as well as the fullest, richest sound quality.
Method 2, which involves wiring the front left and right ProMonitor 60s directly to
your receiver and hooking your sub up with an RCA cable, uses less speaker wire and
still sounds good but clearly not as good as Method 1. We recommend Method 1, if
possible.
Method 1
1) First, wire the + (red) terminal of the left channel speaker wire output of your
receiver or amplifier to the + (red) terminal of the left channel speaker wire
(high level) input of your ProSub.
2) Next, wire the – (black) terminal of the left channel speaker wire output of your
receiver or amplifier to the - (black) terminal of the left channel speaker wire
(high level) input of the ProSub.
3) Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the right channel.
4) Wire the + (red) terminal of the left ProMonitor 60 to the left channel + (red)
speaker wire (high level) out on the back of the ProSub.
5) Wire the – (black) terminal of the left ProMonitor 60 to the left channel – (black)
speaker wire (high level) out on the back of the ProSub.
