Using your C/L/R 2300s as Rear Surrounds

C/L/R 2300s can be used as exceptional quality rear surround speakers. If you use them as rear surrounds, simply hook them up normally to the rear surround amplifier outputs and set your bass management system to “Large” left and right surrounds.

Using your C/L/R 2300s in a Stereo System

If you are using a pair of C/L/R 2300s also as the main left and right speakers in a stereo system, hook them up to the left and right channel amplifier outputs as described in the preceding section. If you are using a Dolby Digital receiver set the base management system to “Large” left & right main front speakers and “No” sub.

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier

Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer level control on your C/L/R 2300, keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recom- mend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with many consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers when in fact the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in doubt, leave them flat; this almost always sounds the best.

Powering Up the Active Subwoofer Section

Your C/L/R 2300(s) contains a built-in, active powered subwoofer section as well as an electronic crossover and so each C/L/R 2300 must be plugged into an electrical socket (unswitched if possible) of the appropriate voltage (as indicated on the back of your unit) using the plug on the end of the black cord attached to the electronics module on the back of the loudspeaker. The C/L/R 2300 has a special circuit which automatically turns the powered sub- woofer section on when a signal is fed to the loudspeaker and does not require an on-off switch. The red LED on the back panel will light up when a signal is sensed and the amplifier turns on. If you hear a “pop” when the amp powers up, this is normal. Please note that after the cessation of a signal, it may take up to an hour for the amplifier to actually turn off.
