ProCinema 600 Six-Piece Surround Sound System

The Definitive Technology ProCinema 600 System consists of six speakers: four ProMonitor® 600s, one ProCenter® 600 and one ProSub® 600. Normally two of the ProMonitor 600s will be used as front speakers and two will be used as side or rear surround speakers. These speakers can be used with any surround decoding technology; however, since they will most often be used with Dolby Digital* receivers and decoders, the instruction manual is written for Dolby Digital hook-ups (and DTS which is hooked up the same way). If you are using an earlier ProLogic* receiver, please contact Definitive customer service for specific instructions that apply to your system.

Wiring up Your Speakers to Your Home Theater Surround Receiver

There are many different ways to wire your ProCinema 600 System to your home theater surround receiver. In order to simplify this process, we will describe the two most common methods. Method 1, which involves wiring your front left and right ProMonitor 600s to your ProSub 600 and then wiring your ProSub 600 to your receiver, is the preferred method in terms of sound quality — it will give you the best blending between the satellite speakers and the sub as well as the fullest, richest sound quality. Method 2, which involves wiring the front left and right ProMonitor 600s directly to your receiver and hooking your sub up with an RCA cable, uses less speaker wire and still sounds good but clearly not as good as Method 1.

We recommend Method 1, if possible.

Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud levels, it is caused by driving (turning up) the amplifier too loud and not driving the speakers with more power than they can handle. Remember, most amplifiers put out their full rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up! If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn down the amplifier or get a bigger one.

Method 1

1.First, wire the + (red) terminal of the left channel speaker wire output of your receiv- er or amplifier to the + (red) terminal of the left channel speaker wire

(high level) input of your ProSub.

2.Next, wire the – (black) terminal of the left channel speaker wire output of your receiver or amplifier to the – (black) terminal of the left channel speaker wire (high level) input of the ProSub.

3.Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the right channel.

4.Wire the + (red) terminal of the left ProMonitor 600 to the left channel + (red) speaker wire (high level) out on the back of the ProSub.
