FINISHING THE INSTALLATION

ADJUSTING THE FEET

The Pro15SW is equipped with four adjustable spike feet that include large slip-on rubber covers. At the fi nal placement site adjust the feet/spikes as follows:

■On hard floors (e.g., wood, tile, etc.), check the Pro15SW’s stability and if needed, adjust the rubber feet one at a time until the cabinet is level.

■On carpeted floors, tilt the Pro15SW up and remove each rubber cover. Check the Pro15SW’s stability and if needed, adjust the spikes one at a time until the cabinet is level.

CONNECTING THE PRO15SW

Connect the Pro15SW according to your application (see APPLICATIONS on

page 10). Use high-quality RCA cables for all line-level connections (see CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS on page 7). For applications with loudspeaker-level connections, perform the following steps:

1.At each Pro15SW loudspeaker-level connection, separate the loudspeaker wire so that at least 2 inches of each conductor are free. Strip away 1/4 inch of insulation from each loudspeaker wire. Using correct polarity, connect the appropriate conductor to each five-way binding post.

NOTE: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY: POSITIVE (+) GOES TO THE RED POST AND NEGATIVE (–) GOES TO THE BLACK POST. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WIRE POLARITY, SEE THE SECTION, CHECKING PHASE ON THE SATELLITE LOUDSPEAKERS, ON PAGE 16.

2.Connect the other end of the loudspeaker wires to the home theater receiver (or amplifier) and satellite loudspeakers in the same way.

3.Turn on the home theater receiver and calibrate all loudspeakers in the system according to the receiver (or surround processor) manufacturer’s instructions.

SETTING UP THE PRO15SW

After making all the connections and calibrating the loudspeakers, set up the Pro15SW by performing the following steps (see CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS on page 7 for information on control operation):

1.On the rear panel, set the (Master) POWER switch to ON. Depending on your application set the (Auto) POWER switch to ALWAYS ON or MUSIC/VOLTAGE SENSE.

2.On the front panel, set the following controls (and switches) to their initial positions:
