PLACING THE CENTRE SPEAKER

Locate the special Centre Speaker performance platform within the packaging materials.

Place the Centre Speaker onto the platform and rotate to a suitable angle.

POSITIONING THE HTS SPEAKERS

Place the speakers in positions relative to the viewing screen in your room as follows:

•Centre speaker close to, and either above or below the screen.

•Front Left speaker 1 to 2 metres to the left of the screen.

•Front Right speaker 1 to 2 metres to the right of the screen

Try to get all 3 front speakers to be in the same plane - the same distance from the viewing position and at least 300mm (12 inches) away from any back wall which may be present behind the screen. Continue positioning the rear speakers as follows:

•Left Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing position and to the left.

•Right Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing position and to the right.

CONNECTING THE HTS SPEAKERS TO YOUR A/V

RECEIVER OR AMPLIFER

Connect the speakers to the AV Home Cinema receiver or separate amplifier terminals as follows:

•Measure out suitable lengths of cable from the roll of cable supplied, to reach between the speakers and your AV or Home Cinema receiver speaker output terminals.

•Note that the cable is polarised, that is the cable has a grey stripe along one of the two conductors. Use this as a guide to connect black terminals on the speakers to black terminals on your equipment.

•Wire up the system connecting each speaker to the appropriate terminals on the receiver or amplifier making quite sure that cables connect red to red terminals

(+ to +) and black to black terminals, (- to -). Take care to distinguish between left and right channels, and the front and rear channels, as seen from the viewing position.

This is a very important stage in setting up. Getting things wrong at this stage is the most likely reason for disappointing results when troubleshooting the system.

CONNECTING THE HTS SUBWOOFER

TO YOUR SYSTEM

SUB OUT	FRONT	REAR	CENTRE	REAR	FRONT
	_LEFT+	_LEFT+	_ +	_RIGHT+	_RIGHT+

Viewed from above, Front Left, Front Right, Left Rear and Right Rear speakers should form a rectangle with the viewing position in the centre of the rectangle.

•Place the subwoofer on the floor alongside the wall nearest to the screen. The exact position isn't critical and can be adjusted once the system is up and running.

•DO NOT PLACE THE SUBWOOFER CLOSER THAN 1 METRE FROM A VIEWING SCREEN USING A CATHODE RAY TUBE. This warning does not apply to Plasma and LCD screens.

This is an ideal positioning set-up, in practice there will be inevitable compromises depending on your room layout and the furniture within it. Refer to your decoder or AV Home Cinema receiver instructions for further advice in compensating for non-ideal situations.

The HTS subwoofer should be connected directly to your 5.1 decoder, AV home cinema receiver or integrated DVD/ decoder/ amplifier as follows:.

•Locate the RCA or Phono socket on your equipment labelled 'LFE OUT','SUB OUT' or 'SUBWOOFER OUTPUT'.

•Using a single RCA to RCA (also known as phono to phono) good quality interconnect cable of suitable length, connect from the 'LFE/SUB/SUBWOOFER OUTPUT' on your equipment to the 'LINE INPUT' on the HTS100/ 200 subwoofer.

•Locate and connect the mains lead supplied to the HTS subwoofer.

•DO NOT CONNECT THE MAINS LEAD (POWER CORD) TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY JUST YET.
