SPEAKER PLACEMENT Where and how you position your speakers has a great effect on the overall sound of your surround sound system. Cautions: • Keep the speakers away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, or other appliances. • Place your subwoofer at least 2–3 feet away from your television or your computer's disk drive system so the speaker's magnet won't distort your TV picture's color or erase your floppy disks. • Do not place the subwoofer’s metal plate against the floor.
You can either place the front speakers on a hard surface or mount them to the wall. When mounting the speakers to the wall, you can change the sound direction by using the supplied attached bracket as shown (screws not supplied). You can also mount the speakers using an optional 1/4-inch wallmount bracket available at your local RadioShack store.
CONNECTIONS CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS TO AN AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER the loose wire strands to prevent the wire from shorting. Notes: • You can use an amplifier/receiver with an output power rating higher than that of the speaker system, but take care never to exceed the speaker system's maximum power rating (see “Specifications” on Page 14) • To avoid any damage to the speaker system or amplifier/receiver, turn off the amplifier/receiver before making connections.
CONNECTING THE SUBWOOFER TO AN AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER You can connect your subwoofer to an amplifier/receiver's speaker terminals or line out terminals.

Connecting the Subwoofer to the HIGH LEVEL INPUT Terminals Center Speaker Right Front Speaker Left Front Speaker Subwoofer Right Rear Speaker Left Rear Speaker If your amplifier/receiver has a speaker output terminal for the subwoofer, you can connect the amplifier/receiver's speaker output terminals to the subwoofer's HIGH LEVEL INPUT terminals.
Notes: • If you connect your subwoofer to your amplifier/receiver's line out terminals and your amplifier/receiver has a line out selector switch, be sure to set it to the correct source so that you hear the subwoofer. • You can connect your subwoofer to your television if your television has line out jacks. Simply connect the LINE LEVEL INPUT jack to the television's line out terminal with phono (RCA) cable.
SUBWOOFER OPERATION AUTOMATIC ON/OFF Your subwoofer turns on and off automatically. It automatically turns on when it receives signals from your amplifier/ receiver, and its indicator lights green. Your subwoofer automatically turns off if it does not receive a signal for about 15 minutes, and its indicator lights red. ADJUSTING THE VOLUME After all connections are made, adjust the subwoofer's volume control. 1. Rotate LEVEL counter clockwise to MIN. 2. Turn on your audio system. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING REPLACING THE FUSE If your subwoofer stops operating properly, you might need to replace its fuse. It requires a slow operating type, 2 A/250 V fuse, available at your local RadioShack store. If your speakers are not performing as they should, take them to your local RadioShack store for assistance. Modifying or tampering with the speaker’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.
