1.	After you uncoil the speaker cable, connect one speaker to the RIGHT
	(Red) connector on the back of your Klipsch system. This speaker will
	be to your left when you are behind the system connecting, but it will
	be on the right when you are facing the system. You can connect either
	speaker to the LEFT or the RIGHT output, you just need to place them
	properly.
2.	Connect the other speaker to the LEFT (White) output on the back of
	the Klipsch system. The speaker connected to the LEFT output will be
	to your right when you are behind the system connecting, but it will be

Speaker Setup Considerations

•Front speakers typically sound best when their tweeters are at approxi- mately ear height for seated listeners. If this isn’t possible, it is sometimes beneficial to tilt the speaker down or up slightly so that it is aimed into the listening area.

3.	Rubber pads have been included in the Accessory box. These self
	adhesive pads can be applied to the bottom of the speakers.
4.	The CS-700 wirelessly transmits the subwoofer signal from the A/V
	Center to the subwoofer. (If you wish to connect the subwoofer with a
	standard RCA cable, simply connect one end of the cable to the black
	“LFE” output on the rear of the A/V Center and the other end to the
	“LFE” input on the rear of the subwoofer. Cable not included.)
5.	Plug the power cord into the subwoofer and an AC outlet and turn the
	subwoofer ON.
6.	For best results, the antenna on the rear of the CS-700 A/V Center
	should be pointed up.

Input and Output Jacks

Please see appendix I (page 28) for the basics on how input and output jacks work with your Klipsch system.

•If possible, position the speakers the same distance apart as they are from the listening position.

•Speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.

•If you are putting speakers in a cabinet, on a rack or a table, try to bring them out far enough so that they are at least flush with the cabinet’s front edge.

•When practical, arrange each speaker so that it is at somewhat different distances from the floor, the wall behind it, and the wall beside it. It can also help to have the left and right front speakers at different distances from their nearest side walls. This staggering helps smooth the bass range. Each speaker can be set on its bottom or side. If you set them on the side and want to turn the Klipsch logo, carefully pull the logo forward, turn and release it.

•The subwoofer’s output will increase as it is moved closer to walls, with maximum output when it is placed in a corner. If practical, always place the subwoofer near a wall. Additionally, a subwoofer will deliver the smoothest bass response when placed near a wall away from openings, such as doors.

•Naturally, there are exceptions to the rules, since no two rooms or systems are exactly alike. Experiment with positioning to get the best sound.
