SPEAKER PROTECTION:
®
One special feature of the Quantum Plasma speakers is an overload protection circuit
designed to help protect the speaker from accidental overload. This protection circuit
will automatically attenuate the overall output of a speaker when it senses excessive
volume level. If you hear this protection circuit engaging, (and it will be obvious when
this occurs), please turn down your receiver's volume. Your speaker will quickly return
to its normal operation.
CONNECTIONS:
Complete all wire connections in your Home Theater/Sound system before powering
TM
up your receiver. Be sure to observe proper polarity for all speaker wire connections:
receiver PLUS (red terminal) to speaker PLUS, receiver MINUS (black terminal) to
TM
speaker minus. For the best results, we recommend 12, 14 or 16 gauge wire; consult
your dealer for options.
To connect your speaker wire to your speaker's binding posts, twist the bare wire
strands together tightly, then insert through the hole which becomes visible when the
knurled knob is screwed counterclockwise. The wire must then be secured by
screwing the knob back clockwise until snug. Remember, loose strands of wire may
cause short circuits. Upon completion, gently tug at all connections to ensure they are
fastened securely and re-check for correct polarity.

  • Page 8 • Simply connect your subwoofer, using either the L or R Line Input jack, to the subwoofer output jack on your receiver. • If you have a Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS receiver or processor place the subwoofer's Crossover Bypass switch in the ON position (this bypasses the Low Pass Filter in the subwoofer). •...
  • Page 9 There are two reasons to use this connection option. The first is if your receiver has no RCA subwoofer output jack! The second is if your system would benefit from having the bass filtered out of the main speakers. (If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver you can achieve the same results electronically simply by configuring your main speakers as SMALL and connecting your sub via a Phono cable - See Option #1).

TROUBLESHOOTING: No Sound only from Subwoofer - Check subwoofer power/volume settings and all connections. Ensure that the center channel mode on the receiver is in the NORMAL or SMALL position.
  • Page 12 Hum: Check for faulty phono connecting cable. Try to separate phono cables from power cords (they can induce hum into the system). If that doesn't work we recommend you turn off your subwoofer when it is not in use. This is most easily accomplished by either connecting its powercord to a switched power outlet on the back of your receiver (if it has them) or by using a Remote Controlled Switched Outlet like Radio Shack part #61-2667.
