Theatre Applicaons

For Dolby Digital AC3 or other 5.1 theatre systems, once the standard set-up for two-channel outlined

above is complete, the LFE output from the processor or receiver should be connected to the .1/LFE INPUT

and appropriate volume adjustments made using the .1/LFE level control. For this conguraon, you must

set the processor to the “large” or “full range” seng for the le and right speakers in order for the REL to

receive the bass signal via the high-level cable. In this conguraon, the REL provides support for both the

le and right speakers for two-channel listening, and support for the LFE when movies are playing. Most

processors will allow you to defeat the subwoofer output when listening in the two-channel mode. The

eect of this set-up is one of greatly increased dynamics in the mid-bass range, no bass bloat, and a greater

degree of space and ming from the special audio eects. For an even greater sense of space and impact,

a second REL connected in parallel to the centre channel will prove to be a dramac improvement as well.

And if that is not enough, a rear REL, both to support the rear channel speakers as well as to evenly distribute

LFE through the room, truly completes the full-range sonic picture for state-of-the-art lm reproducon.

Running In

Care taken during run in will be rewarded by many years of pleasurable use. Both the electronics and the

drive unit will benet from an inial period of carefully controlled use. Possible damage may be sustained

by running in the unit at too high a volume seng over an extended period. On the other hand, by taking a

lile care over this inial period, about 24 hours of actual use, a longer life with a higher potenal eventual

performance is assured.

Care and Polishing

The cabinets are best maintained by using an automobile polish made by reputable manufacturers. Our

favorites are those made by Meguiars and Mother’s. If objects are to be placed upon the top, it is advisable

to use a small mat to protect the surface and to avoid the risk of rales.
