2 Connecting Up
To remove the stand, press the center tab and slide the
stand from the speaker.
Connecting the subwoofer
Use the supplied subwoofer cable to connect the subwoofer to
the amplifer.
1 Twist off the plastic shielding then twist the
exposed wire strands together.
2 Connect the bare wire ends of the cable to
the subwoofer.
The white wire connects to the black terminal; the gray wire to
the red.
To open a terminal, press down on the tab. Insert the wire,
then release the tab to secure it.
3 Connect the other end to the amplifier.
The cable will only plug in one way; line up the plug and
socket before fully inserting.
Caution!
Do not connect any other amplifier to this system. In rare
cases this may result in smoke or fire.
Do not block the port opening on the front of the subwoofer.
Also, do not put your hand or other object into the port: you
may damage the subwoofer.
If you wish to connect speakers other than the ones supplied,
use only speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 . Refer to
the instructions that came with your speakers if you are
unsure of their impedance before connecting them and
switching on.
Placing the speakers
Ideally, the satellite speakers should be at about ear-level when
you’re listening to them. Putting them on the floor, or
mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended. For
the best stereo effect, place the speakers 2–3 meters (6–9 feet)
apart.
Placement of the subwoofer is not as critical as the satellite
speakers because bass sounds are much less directional then
middle and treble sounds. However, bear the following points
in mind when choosing a suitable location.
The subwoofer can be placed on top of the amplifier.
As with other audio components, don’t place the
subwoofer near heaters, radiators or other appliances that
generate heat.
Although you have some freedom in placement,
experiment with different subwoofer locations—some
will sound better than others from your usual listening
position.
Don’t use the amplifier/subwoofer on a thick rug or carpet
as this can also cause ventilation problems.
Note: Avoid touching the actual speaker cone when
installing or moving the subwoofer.
