testing and quality control at the factory to ensure you years of listening pleasure.

The magnetically shielded VS-1.4 Audio / Video Satellite loudspeaker is designed to provide high-performance sound

when used as a front, center, and surround speaker in five-channel home theater systems. The VS-1.4 employs drive units

identical to the companion VT-1.4 Audio / Video Tower loudspeaker, which may be used as front left &right speakers for

a full-range, timbre-matched system.

The VS-1.4 is designed for use as either a center channel speaker in its horizontal orientation, or a satellite speaker in its vertical

orientation. The VS-1.4 is designed for indoor use only.

When installing the VS-1.4 as a center channel speaker, it should be placed directly above or below the television, as close to the

screen as possible (fig.1). The VS-1.4 is magnetically shielded and will not distort the picture’s color.

Ideally, the three front speakers in a home theater system should be placed at equal height, equidistant, and at ear level

from the listening position. However, it is frequently not possible to install a center speaker at ear level, as the top surface

of most televisions tends to be higher than ear level in the seated position. To address this problem, the VS-1.4 is

supplied with an adjustable foot (fig. 2). This foot is used to angle or aim the speaker so that it radiates sound directly

toward the listening position. The foot can also be used to level the VS-1.4 if the top of the TV has an uneven surface.

Attach the rubber pad to the bottom of the foot to prevent it from sliding. Adjust the VS-1.4 to the desired angle, then

tighten the finger screw. For best performance, place the VS-1.4 so that its baffle (front) is even with the front of your

television (fig. 2). This will eliminate diffraction effects caused by sound waves bouncing off the top surface of your

television. Rubber feet are included to protect both your VS-1.4 and your furniture from possible scratches. To install the feet, peel

off their adhesive backings and stick them on four corners of the bottom surface, of the VS-1.4.
