We are sure you will enjoy this superb product. The following advice is
offered to facilitate proper installation of your MIRAGE speakers in
your home. Extensive research along with great care at every design

performance characteristics: a performance level that is equal, or
superior to other loudspeakers costing many times their price.
The finest components and materials, made with sophisticated
manufacturing and quality control ensure that you will enjoy this
exceptional performance for many years.
IMPORTANT: Please retain the carton and packing material for this
MIRAGE product to protect it in the event it ever has to be shipped
to a service center for repair. Product received damaged by a service
center that has been shipped by the end user in other than the
original packaging, will be repaired, refurbished and properly packaged
for return shipment at the end user's expense.
POSITIONING & CONNECTING YOUR
MIRAGE "AVS-SERIES" SPEAKERS
For best performance, please follow the guidelines outlined below:
Using Your AVS-200
as Left and Right Main Speakers
For best stereo separation, we recommend the speaker pair be placed
6 to 10 feet (2-3 m) apart and a minimum of 15-inches (40cm) from
the wall. The distance from the loudspeakers to the listener should
be about 1 to 1.5 times the distance separating the speakers.
See Figure 1 & 2 for placement and connection.
The AVS-100 Center Channel Speaker
The purpose of the center channel speaker is to ensure that the central
audio image, including actors' voices, appears to emanate from the
screen. For best results the center channel speaker should be located
directly above, or below the TV screen. See Figure 1 & 2 for
placement and connection.
Using Your AVS-200 as Surround/Effects Speakers
Surround effects speakers should be positioned adjacent to and slightly
behind the primary listening area, on the rear wall or in the ceiling to
provide the sense of spaciousness and ambiance for either Dolby
Pro Logic™ or the new Dolby Digital™ Surround source formats.
See Figure 1 & 2 for placement and connection.
MIRAGE Powered Subwoofers
Low frequencies are essentially non-directional, so your subwoofer may
be placed anywhere in the listening room, without affecting the stereo
image of your main speakers. However, placement too near the corner
of the room may result in "boomy" bass performance. Positioning the
subwoofer further from the corner will normally result in more detailed
and accurate performance. For larger rooms, two or more subwoofers
may be used. Refer to the placement and connection
instructions in the Owner's Manual of your Subwoofer.

Amplifier Requirements

MIRAGE loudspeakers have been designed to be driven to high
listening levels with moderate power, while at the same time being
capable of handling the power output of large amplifiers. Most
MIRAGE speakers have 8 ohm nominal impedance, and will function
well with a wide range of amplifiers and receivers.
NOTE: If using more than one pair of speakers per amplifier or
receiver, please check with the amplifier manufacturer to confirm that
the amplifier can handle loads of 4 ohms.
CARE OF FINISHES
Your speakers should be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth from
time to time to remove any dust or stains. Do not use an abrasive
cleaner. To remove dust from the grille cloth, use the brush attachment
on your vacuum cleaner or a slightly dampened sponge.
WARRANTY OUTSIDE OF
THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
Outside of North America, the warranty may be changed to comply
with local regulations. Ask your local MIRAGE dealer for details of the
LIMITED WARRANTY applicable in your country.
