    the operating environment, but is typically in the area of 50~80 hours. It will take a bit longer in a cold or dry environment and a little less time in a warm or humid environment. Note that the break-in period does not have to be continuous. SPEAKER PLACEMENT Before making any connections, you should examine your listening room and decide where you will place each speaker.

    sit about 12 feet from the wall on which the front main speakers are mounted, the left and right front main speakers should be about 8 feet apart. • The minimum distance between the left and right front main speakers is about 6 feet.
  • Page 8: Surround Speakers

    Surround Speakers • The left and right surround speakers should be mounted in an area slightly behind (about 110° ~ 150°) the ideal listening location. • The left and right surround speakers should be about 4~6 feet further apart than the distance between the left and right front main speakers.

    proposed positions and made any fine tuning adjustments necessary to produce the best sound. The ideal speaker placement is one in which the left and right are mirror images of each other. Of course, in the real world such exact symmetry is rarely achieved. Real world speaker placement is an exercise in compromise between the ideal and the realistic, with your ears as the final arbiter.
  • Page 10 The ideal connection is through the two line level RCA jacks, while spring loaded terminals can be used to accept speaker level inputs, if line level is not possible. The spring-loaded terminals can accept bare speaker wire (up to 9 AWG) or pin plugs. While all the speaker level options work with bare speaker wire, making bare speaker wire connections is less than ideal.
  • Page 11 the same, which ensures that the volume levels, frequency ranges, and tonalities are identical. Any excess wire should be snaked back and forth, but not coiled, to avoid creating an inductor/antenna for stray radio signals. Before making the actual connections, cut each length of wire to size. Note the markings on the wire that differentiate between each conductor.
  • Page 12: Connecting The Satellite And Center Speakers

    Connecting the Satellite and Center Speakers Although the order in which speakers are connected does not matter, it is easier to keep track of things if you connect speakers one at a time. For each satellite speaker, and for the center channel speaker, perform the following: 1.
  • Page 13: Connecting The Subwoofer

    Connecting the Subwoofer There are several different ways to connect the subwoofer. The method you choose is primarily determined by the presence of a dedicated subwoofer output on your amplifier/receiver. The connection methods are presented in order of preference. Connecting to a Dedicated Subwoofer Output A dedicated subwoofer output is usually one or two RCA jacks marked "Subwoofer", "Sub Pre Out", or something similar on the back of the amplifier/receiver.
  • Page 14 To make this connection you will need a stereo RCA patch cable of the appropriate length. 1. Insert the black/negative side of one end of the cable into the black/negative RCA jack on the back of the subwoofer. 2. Insert the red/positive side of one end of the cable into the red/positive RCA jack on the back of the subwoofer.

    5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the right channel connection. 6. Visually inspect the connections at each end to verify correct polarity and the absence of any stray wire strands. SETUP Once all connections have been made and inspected, check the volume levels of the amplifier/receiver and the subwoofer, setting them to the minimum as necessary.
  • Page 16 Low-Pass Filter: The low-pass filter determines how well the bass from the subwoofer blends with the mids and highs from the satellite and center channel speakers. Because the satellite and center channel speakers have a frequency response that starts at about 110Hz, we want the subwoofer to handle all frequencies up to 110Hz.
