This information is also shown on the Quick Start guide.

Initial Setup Overview:

1. Satellite speakers
Before attaching the cables, position two satellite speakers on
either side of your computer monitor or television about the same
5
distance from each other as from you. Angle them to face you.
6
Place the rear speakers behind you and about the same distance
apart as the front speakers. You may want to mount these speakers
on the wall. If so, simply rotate the stands 180°. Mount the speakers
using appropriate wall anchors through the holes in the stands.
7
For a pro-audio look, remove the cloth grilles by pulling them
straight off. Removing the grilles will not affect sound quality.

2. Center channel
Depending on your confi guration, place your center channel
speaker on your desk (angled up), on top of your monitor or
television (angled down), or wall-mounted (angled down).
To wall mount the speaker, remove the screw from side
of neck, rotate stand and replace screw. Mount speaker
using appropriate wall anchors through holes in stand.
3. Subwoofer
Because bass frequencies are non-directional, the
subwoofer can be placed anywhere in relation to the other
11
speakers. To ensure optimum sound quality, do not block the driver
3
or the bass port. To achieve the strongest bass, place the subwoofer
5
near a wall, corner or under a desk.
4
Note: Please ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer. Keep the cooling fi ns on the back of the subwoofer
10
at least 6 inches away from any object. For your safety, the Z-5500 Digital system is protected by a thermal overload
switch, which will cause the system to shut down if it becomes too hot. In rare circumstances where the ambient
room temperature is high, the unit can shut down. If this occurs, turn off the system and allow it to cool. Increase the
7 ventilation around the system before turning the power back on.
4. Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center
Position the Digital SoundTouch™ Control Center where it is easy to reach.
5. With the power off and the speakers in place, connect the speaker wire to the spring clips on the satellites and to
the corresponding spring clips on the subwoofer. To connect, push the tab on the spring clip, insert the wire into
the connector, and release the tab. Make sure that you match the wire color to the spring clip colors on both the
subwoofer and the satellite.
6. Use the remote control or the control pod to select an input source.
For your safety, set up the entire system before
plugging it into a power source.
