Owner's Guide Thank you for your purchase. Our speakers are designed to make high-performance sound easy to bring into your life. They have the wide frequency and dynamic range, natural tonal balance, and precise spatial imaging needed to make both music and movies powerfully lifelike and enjoyable. All of our models match closely in tonal balance to allow easy mixing in home theater systems. The quick-start instructions below will get you going.
a) b) II. Carpet Use Screw four spikes with four lock nuts into the inserts located in the four corners of the speaker bottom, Locate the speakers and adjust to the desired height (higher for thicker carpet) and tighten the lock nuts with the wrench. Hard Floor Use Screw four threaded rubber isolation bumpers with four lock nuts into the inserts located in the four corners of the speaker bottom. Adjust and tighten the lock nuts with nut wrench. C.
channel-Red amp/receiver terminal to Red speaker terminal, Black to Black. This will ensure that the diaphragms of the speakers on both channels move forward and backward together (Uin-phase"), rather than in opposition (Uout-of-phase"). In-phase connection provides maximum clarity and bass, while out-of-phase connection results in frequency cancellations and produces thinner and less distinct sound-with less bass, vague vocal quality, and no solid centre image.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT-MAXIMIZING YOUR ENJOYMENT The positioning of your main left-right speakers for stereo or home theatre can playa major role in their performance.
D. If you sit equally distant from both speakers, angling the speakers inward ("toeing them in') about 5 to 10 degrees usually produces the best convergence of high frequencies where you listen. Different listening positions may require different toe-in. E. To go beyond these basics and experiment with positioning for optimum performance, please read the placement guidelines that follow. They are about the speakers, the room, and you. 1.
2. You in Relation to the Speakers Where you sit in relation to your speakers obviously makes a difference too. The proportions of the particular triangle formed by your speakers and you matter. (You may need to send more power to the more distant speaker to compensate if you get much further from one speaker than the other.) The overall distances involved also matter.
IV. POSITIONING SURROUND SPEAKERS Your surround speakers and how they are positioned will determine the sonic realism of movies and multi-channel audio. Most surround sound is meant more to create greater depth and overall ambience than to localize effects as coming from a particular spot. This is especially true of Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound, in which both surround channels carry the same (monophonic) information and can't be differentiated from each other.
V. PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT A. For full, year-after-year enjoyment from your speakers, you should respect their limits. They will produce room-filling volume in averagesized rooms-and handle peak momentary levels at those volumes without audible strain. But avoid louder-than-life playback of music or movies, especially in large rooms. Even the most "bulletproof' speakers can be damaged by excessive volume levels, especially for long periods. B.
E. Cabinet Care Cabinets have varying materials and finishes, including wood veneers, vinyl, anodized aluminum and high gloss "poly lacquers" and should be treated as you would furniture with similar finishes. Dust lightly with a soft cloth; avoiding abrasives. If necessary, wipe carefully with a cloth slightly dampened with glass cleaner to remove heavy soil. F. Grilles and Ports A lint brush does a good job of cleaning grilles. Removable grilles can be taken off and vacuumed if you prefer.
