HT60

Introduction

NOTE: Check your system immediately. If it has been damaged in transit, re- port the damage immediately by calling your AR dealer.

Please follow the directions in this manual to achieve the best performance from your system.

The hook-up and operation of the subwoofer is the same for a home theater surround system and a stereo music system. The subwoofer has a built-in amplifier, making it compatible with any sound system. In addition, the subwoofer's crossover networks send bass-only signals to its built-in amplifier, allowing the subwoofer to add extra bass to the output from your other speakers.

To simplify the instructions in this manual, the main speakers are referred to as the “front speakers”. The AV receiver, stereo receiver, or integrated amplifier is referred to as the “receiver.”

Warnings

We recommend that you not operate your speakers with the bass, treble, and loudness controls set to full boost. This will place undue strain on the electronics and speakers and could damage them.

The volume control setting on your receiver is not a specific indication of the overall loudness level of the speakers. The only important consideration is the loudness level at which the system can be played, regardless of where the volume control is set.

Whenever changing cables or pulling plugs, ALWAYS TURN OFF ALL EQUIP- MENT. This prevents transients from entering the speakers and prevents electrical en- ergy from reaching you.

Keep all connections out of the reach of children.
