Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the AudioSource family of satisfied customers. Please take a few moments to read
this manual before you get started. Also, be sure to retain this document should you need to refer to it in the future.
The AudioSource System 100 contains 4 LS 300 Compact Speakers (front left speaker, front right speaker, back left speaker, back right
speaker); 1 LS 300/C Center Speaker; and 1 SW Two Powered Subwoofer. This system is designed to reproduce high fidelity music,
including today's demanding digital signals. Movies and stereo TV broadcasts will sound more realistic, putting you in the center of the
action. In a Dolby Pro Logic
©
environment, recording engineers determine which sounds are sent to each channel. The LS 300/C is video-
shielded, allowing placement directly on top of your TV. The LS 300s are provided for the front and rear left and right channels.
This manual is divided into two sections. The first provides information about the LS 300 surround and LS 300/C center speakers. The
next section concerns the SW Two Powered Subwoofer.

LS 300 Front & Surround and LS 300/C Center Speakers
Hooking Them Up
The five-way binding posts accommodate nearly any type of connector. For bare wire, press the binding post in to reveal the eye. Thread
the wire into the eye, and release the spring-loaded connector. For banana plugs, simply insert the banana plug into the end of the con-
nector. If you own a stereo receiver that includes audio/video features and Dolby Pro Logic capabilities, connect all five speakers to this
receiver. If you are using an outboard Dolby Pro Logic processor along with a stereo receiver, the center channel speaker and the rear
surround speakers may be connected to the outboard processor. The binding post speaker terminals accommodate up to 14-gauge wire.
Be sure to retain the correct polarity. This means that your speakers’ +, red, or positive terminal on component must be connected to the
+, red, or positive terminal on the receiver’s output terminals. Similarly, the –, black, negative, or ground terminals must connect to the
respective –, black, negative, or ground terminals. This is easy to do by observing the color, stripe, or ribbing that appears on the wire.
Speaker Placement
The center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the television. We suggest either directly on top of or below the TV.
This locks the sound to the picture. Place the front speakers near the front corners of the room, either on a bookshelf or wall-mounted.
As with all speakers, positioning near a corner will enhance bass performance.
Place the surround speakers either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is on the side walls, ear level,
about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround speakers to aim directly at the listener, placing
the listener in the middle of a five-speaker sound field.
