Checking the connections

Check all the connections from the receiver to the left and right speakers. Make sure all the wires are connected in phase (+ to + and – to –).

Correct any wiring problems before you plug in your receiver and turn it on.

CAUTION: 601TM speakers incorporate an automatic protection circuit, which guards against most kinds of damage from electrical stress or overload. This circuit activates at high volume levels to reduce output, causing a slight decrease in volume. You may also notice light com- ing from inside the speaker cabinet. This is normal operation and indicates that power input may be exceeding safe levels. Sustained listening at these levels is not recommended.

For use in home theater

Your speakers are fully compatible with all surround sound formats. They may be used as the front left and right main speakers, or in larger more powerful systems as full-range surround channel speakers.

For rear or surround speakers

For use as the rear or surround speakers, connect your speakers to the “Rear” or “Surround” speaker outputs of the receiver or amplifier. For use with digital home theater systems, we recommend trying both “Large” and “Small” settings to determine the best performance with your receiver or amplifier. See your receiver owner’s guide for any additional information or instructions.

Setting your surround sound receiver or amplifier

After making the connections, you may try any additional surround sound modes that your receiver may have. These modes may have different names depending on the manufacturer, such as, ACTION, MOVIE, THEATER. Select the settings for music, movies or both that sound best in your listening environment. See your receiver/amplifier owner’s guide for additional information on selecting settings.
