Tilting the Speaker
If needed, the enclosed stand allows you to tilt the speaker
across a wide range (i.e., up a maximum of 18˚ or down a
maximum of 7˚), as shown in Figure 3.
Important!
D
o not exceed the tilt range. Doing so may cause the speaker to
fall out of its stand.
Figure 3.
WIRING THE SPEAKER
A
fter placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your
system. First, turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality
speaker wire to make the connections. Consult the owner’s
manuals included with your amplifier or receiver for connection
and operation procedures.
Surround Modes
When using the TSS-CENTER1100 in a Dolby* Digital or DTS
®
home theater system, make sure the amplifier or receiver
center channel speaker modes are set to “Small.”
Wiring and Polarity
The TSS-CENTER1100 speaker has gold-plated terminals that
can accept bare wire.To ensure proper polarity, connect each
+ terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the
respective + (red) terminal on each speaker,as shown in
Figure 4. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way.
See the owner’s manuals that were included with your
amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.
Important!
Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making
connections. Doing so will degrade the imaging and bass
response of the home theater system.
After correctly placing and wiring the TSS-CENTER1100 and
the rest of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the
channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your amplifier
or receiver.
Figure 4.This example shows how to connect bare wires to the
terminals. Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the
r
ear of the connector.
ᕡ Loosen the terminals.
ᕢ Insert bare ends; tighten terminals.
