CENTER CHANNEL

DCM6C

When using the DCM6C as a center channel speaker in a home theater applica- tion the following guidelines should be used for optimum performance.

Locate the speaker as close to the center of your TV or monitor as possible (Figure 1). This will anchor the central image of your home theater to the location of the images seen on the screen.

Place the center channel at an equal distance to the listening position as the main speakers are. Also, place the height of the center channel’s tweeter as close to the same height as the main speakers’ tweeters (Figure 3). This will prevent image blurring when sounds are panned from the one side of the room to the other.

HOOK UP

Use 16 gauge or heavier speaker wire for connecting to your amplifier or receiv- er. Cut wire lengths leaving an extra 12” to 24” at each end to allow for moving the speaker or receiver.

Using a wire cutter or a sharp knife, strip 1/2” of insulation off each end of the wire to expose the conductor. Twist wire ends to prevent from fraying. Connect the conductors to the binding posts on the bottom or back of the speaker by unscrew- ing the post enough to expose the hole in the terminal post. Slip the exposed con- ductor in the hole and tighten the post. Repeat this step for connecting to your amplifier or receiver. Refer to the owner’s manual supplied with your electronics to assist with proper hook up.

Note: To ensure proper performance, make sure that the wire from the red

(+)terminal on the speaker is connected to the red (+) terminal on your amplifier or receiver. Likewise, make sure the wire from the black (-) termi- nal on the speaker is connected to the black (-) terminal on the amplifier or receiver. (Figure 4)

FIGURE 4 Connecting Speakers to Amplifier or Receiver

Once your speakers are hooked up, turn on your electronics and test to make sure they are functioning properly. If your speakers sound “thin” with little bass and have a poor center image, one of the speaker wires is probably hooked up backwards. Double check all connections for proper polarity.
