Surround Speaker System

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Where and how you position your speakers has a great effect on the overall
sound of your surround sound system.

CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER

The center channel output contains the majority of the dialogue and
sounds.  Therefore, you should place it as close as possible to the
television, preferably centered on top of the TV.  Place the front edge of
the center channel speaker grille flush with the edge of the television.

Your center channel speaker is magnetically shielded to prevent
interference with your television's picture.  It is possible, however,
that some interference may occur.  If this happens, turn off your TV for
15 minutes and move the speaker back about 1 inch from the front of the
TV.  Turn on the TV and recheck.  If interference still occurs, move the
center channel speaker back further  until the interference disappears.

REAR CHANNEL SURROUND SPEAKERS

The ideal position for your rear channel surround sound speakers is behind
and 1 to 3 feet above your listening position.

You can place your surround speakers on a shelf, or mount them on a wall
using two #8 1 1/2- inch long round head wood screws (not included).

Follow these steps to mount the surround speakers to a wall:


1.  Drive the screws into the wall, making sure they fasten to a wall
    stud.  Leave approximately 1/4 inch of the screw protruding from the
    wall.


2.  Align the screw head with the round portion of the keyhole on the back
    of the speaker.


3.  Push down the speaker until it is secure.

CONNECTING TO AN AMPLIFIER

With the speakers in their approximate locations, measure the distance
from each speaker to the amplifier.

Use 18-gauge speaker wire or lamp cord for distances up to 50 feet. For
greater distances, use 16-gauge wire.  Your local Radio Shack store has a
wide selection of speaker wire.

1.  Split apart about 4 inches of speaker wire on each end.


2.  Use a wire stripper to strip 1/4 inch of insulation from each wire's
    end.  Twist the loose wire strands to prevent the wires from shorting.


3.  Press the right speaker's negative (-) terminal tab and insert one of
    the bare wire ends into the opening.  Then release the tab.

4.  Press the right speaker's positive (+) terminal tab and insert the
    other bare wire end into the opening.  Then release the tab.

5.  Insert the other end of the wire you inserted into the right speaker's
    negative (-) terminal into your A/V receiver/amplifier's right
    negative (-) terminal.

    Note:  For the maximum bass response and the best performance, be sure
           that your speaker wires are properly connected according to
           their polarity (+ to + and - to -).

6.  Connect the remaining wire to the A/V receiver/amplifier's right
    positive (+) terminal.

7.  Repeat this process for the left and center channel speakers.
