Although the PPS 1 panels may be placed
almost anywhere in the room, it is good practice
to site them conventionally if possible.
The front channel panels should be placed on
either side of the television screen, 2 to 3 metres
apart. The Centre speaker should be placed
central to the listening position and close to the
TV screen. Ideally, the front and centre channel
speakers should be operated with their centres
at the same height though this is not essential.
We recommend placing the rear panels behind
the listener and above the listening position. Site
the LP 1 sub bass unit as previously described.
Many digital AV Processors require you to
specify the size of speakers in the various
channels. These are usually 'Large' or 'Small'.
The Rear and Centre channels should be set
to 'Small' as they have no deep bass capability.
Set the Front Channel to 'Large'. All the system
bass is now routed through the LP 1 sub bass
unit. The subwoofer channel on the processor
should be set to ' No' or 'Off'.
If your AV processor has an LFE control, use
care as the LFE channel may contain heavy low
frequencies which can overload a domestic unit.
If, during a programme, you hear popping or
thumping noises coming from the LP 1 sub bass
unit, immediately turn the AV Processor's volume
level down and then back off the LFE level.
Customising the PPS 1 Panels
The PPS 1 Panel can be customised with your
choice of graphics. For a small charge most high
street picture specialists will be happy to apply
your image to the PPS 1. If you wish to do this
yourself, carefully follow the instructions below.
The material on which the image is applied
should be lightweight-less than 300gsm. Canvas
or painted surfaces are not suitable, nor should
the print be glazed. There must be white space
all round the print. We suggest a maximum
picture size of 360mm x 420mm.
F i r s t r e m o v e t h e
existing print.
Carefully lift one corner
with a fingernail or
wooden spatula and
slowly peel off the print.
To aid picture mounting
the frame may be
removed.
Carefully remove the
eight screws in the
moulded back cover
and put safely to one
side. Lift off the frame.
Lay a straight edge
diagonally across the
corners of the panel.
Using a soft blunt 2B
pencil or whiteboard
marker gently mark four
short lines as shown.
These marks can be
removed with a rubber
after the print is fixed.
Place the print on the
p a n e l . W h e n t h e
corners touch all four
lines, the print is
centred. Mark the
corner positions.
Lay the print face down
on some newspaper.
Using a suitable spray
mount adhesive, lightly
spray the back of the
print as indicated.
Allow to dry for 2-3
minutes.
Apply the print and
position it along the top
edge only. Gently rub
from side to side
moving down the print
whilst lowering it on to
the panel. Smooth out
any creases as you go.
Erase all the guide

place using the original
eight screws removed
earlier.
