Rear surround speakers also should be placed at or slightly above your listening position for the best reproduction of surround-sound effects. Ideally, they should be facing into your favorite listening position from either side of the room, but placing them at the rear corners of the room facing front is also recommended.

Center speaker placement should be, if possible, directly on top of or under your TV monitor or projection TV screen. This correctly positions the critical sound track information (usually dialogue) that filmmakers direct to the center channel. Phase Technology center speakers are magnetically shielded so that they will not interfere with your TV picture.

Subwoofer placement is less critical, because the frequencies they reproduce are omni directional. This means the human ear doesn’t perceive these low frequencies as coming from a specific direction, enabling placement of a subwoofer virtually anywhere in the listening room.

It’s best, however, to keep a subwoofer within the sound field of the other speakers. The closer the subwoofer is to a wall, the louder and more intense its bass output will be: this effect is even stronger when the sub is placed in or near a room’s corner. If you must choose a less-than-ideal position, the output level of Phase Technology powered subwoofers is adjustable to compensate for your listening environment.

The following instructions apply whether you are using a separate amplifier and other components or an integrated receiver. However, for simplicity we will use the term “amplifier” throughout this manual to mean both. With system power off and your amplifier unplugged, please follow these steps:

Special Note: Observe Speaker Polarity Carefully!

Every cable, speaker and amplifier is clearly marked to show their positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Amps and speakers may use some combination of these symbols and/or colors to indicate positive (usually red) and negative (usually black or white) connections. One strand of your cable will also be ridged and/or marked with a colored line or other indicator on the positive side
