OWNER’S MANUAL CAUTION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
What’s in the Box Each box contains: 1. Loudspeaker(s) 2. Owner’s Manual 3. Registration Card 4. Magnetic grilles (Speaker cable not included) How to Connect Your System To get the best sound quality, it’s important to wire your speakers correctly. Wire Preparation Follow the hookup directions included with your receiver/ amplifier. Strip 0.5” (12.
OWNER’S MANUAL Bi-Amping (R700 only) Bi-amping allows you to use separate amplifiers for the high and low frequency sections of your loudspeaker for greater dynamic range and lower distortion. We recommend that your separate amplifiers have identical gain to preserve the speaker’s voicing balance. After removing the jumpers, connect the speaker wires from the high frequency amplifier outputs to the upper set of terminal posts on each speaker.
Reserve Series Speaker Positioning Placement Recommendations for the R300, R350, and R400 Center Channel Speakers The most popular placement for your center channel speaker is below your TV. You may also place your center channel above your TV should you choose. The R400 center channel is very heavy, and we do not recommend wall mounting it. The R350 supports wall-mount via built-in keyhole slots, or it can be placed on a table or center channel stand.
