If you use C/L/R 2500 as left and right main front speakers, normally the level con- trol of the left speaker will be set the same as the level control of the right speaker. However, these controls can also be set differently on the two speakers in order to allow you to vary the response of left and right speakers separately to compensate for variations and asymmetrical positioning of the left and right speakers in your room (i.e., when one is closer to a side wall or corner, etc.) if this is how you must set them up. This is a very unique and useful feature which allows you much greater flexibility in loudspeaker placement, as well as the ability to optimize what could otherwise be difficult placement situations.

VERY IMPORTANT: SETTING CHANNEL BALANCE AND BASS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic systems and decoders have a criti- cal channel balancing procedure for the left and right front speakers, center channel, rears and subwoofer (if it is hooked up through the “LFE or Sub Out” low-level connection) which must be followed if the system is to perform properly. We have spoken with many system users with problems relating to the overall sound of their system which could be clearly traced back to improper system balance.

Also note that Dolby Digital decoders have bass management systems (systems which direct the bass to the various channels) which vary from unit to unit. This bass management system must also be properly adjusted. If you are using large rear surround speakers with very extended low frequency response—such as another pair of C/L/R 2500s—set the rear channels of your decoder’s bass management system to “Large.” If not, set them to “Small.” Center channel should be set on “Large.” If you are using C/L/R 2500 as left and right main speakers without an additional subwoofer, left and right front channels should be set on “Large” and the bass management system set for “No” sub- woofer. If you have an additional separate subwoofer set bass manage- ment system to “Yes” subwoofer.

Positioning the C/L/R 2500s in Your Room

For Center Channel Use

The C/L/R 2500, when used singly for center channel use, can be placed horizontally or vertically above or below the TV. When used as center chan- nel pairs, the C/L/R 2500s should be placed on either side of the TV, or above and below it.

For Main Left, Right LCR and Rear Surround Use

The C/L/R 2500 is a high quality, full-range speaker system which, in addition to its use as a center channel in home theater systems, can also be used as a left and right main speaker (LCR) in all home theater systems as well as conventional two channel audio systems. When the C/L/R 2500 is used as a left and right main speaker, it may be positioned either vertically or horizontally. When the C/L/R 2500 is used as a rear surround speaker, it may also be positioned vertically or horizontally.
