Connecting the speakers  
This section explains how to conect your speakers to your amplifier.  
Before connecting the speakers make sure that your amplifier is turned off.  
Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal  
amplifier.  
Connect the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each speaker to the corresponding  
plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier.  
If a biwire type of connection is used (except System 2, System 5 and System  
Dipole 4 that have single wire binding posts), the gold plated bridges must be taken  
off. Unscrew the binding post’s screws and pull off the two bridges. Tighten the  
screws.  
If you use bare speaker wire at the speaker terminals, remove the binding post’s  
screw and place the bare wire into the side opening of the terminal. Then tighten the  
screw.  
If a banana plug type is used, just push the plug into the binding post’s top hole.  
Figure 1 shows a typical system connection of two front speakers, two rear speakers,  
one center speaker and one subwoofer on a AV amplifier for 5.1 channel reproduction.

Positioning the speakers  
Each speaker must have approximately the same distance from the listening  
position in order to have a better stereo sound image.  
The front speakers must be placed on an imaginary arc that includes the position of  
the center speaker. Thus, the front speakers and the center speaker will have the  
same distance from the listening position.  
The center speaker must be placed on top or beneath of the television. If you place it  
beneath the television, you must give it an angle in order to face the listeners.  
The tweeters of the front and center speakers must be at the same height with a  
sitting listener’s ear. If needed, bases can be used.  
The rear speakers should be dipoles and are best located to the side of or behind  
the listening position, at least 0.6m (2 feet) above the listening position.  
The subwoofer must be placed as close as possible to the listening position, e.g.  
beside or at the back of the couch.  
Note  
Carpets, curtains and furniture improve sound quality in the listening room, since they  
reduce reflections of sound.  
Figure 2 shows a typical placement of the speakers in the music-home theater room.

Adjusting your amplifier for the System Series  
All System Series Speakers are designed for use with subwoofer. The adjustments that  
must be made on the setup menu of your AV amplifier are:

Rear  
Center  
Also you must adjust the amplifier so that it recognizes that a subwoofer is present  
(Subwoofer YES or ON).  
These adjustments are very important for the protection of your speakers.  
Precautions  
The AV amplifier you use must be set to SMALL position for all the System Series  
Speakers (front, rear & center).  
Before operating a subwoofer, make sure that the operating voltage of the local  
power supply and the subwoofer are identical.  
Before connecting the speakers make sure that your amplifier is turned off.  
Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal  
amplifier.  
Make sure that you have connected the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each  
speaker to the corresponding plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier.  
Make sure that all screws on the binding posts are tight enough, especially if you are  
using bare speaker wires. A contact between bare speaker wires may cause short-  
circuit which can damage your equipment.  
Avoid the use of Treble - Bass adjustments and Loudness especially at high level  
output. Also avoid the use of equalizers. In this way you protect your speakers and  
you get better sound with less distortion.  
The possibility of damaging your speakers is greater if you use low power amplifiers  
that operate at their limits especially with the Treble – Bass adjustments at their  
maximum value.  
Such amplifiers clip very easily, which can destroy your speakers. Tweeters are  
more vulnerable on this kind of use.  
Therefore, high power amplifiers are more preferable.  
Do not drive each speaker with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum  
power indicated on this instruction manual for the specified speaker.

Use the best speaker and interconnect cables you can afford.  
Do not place the speakers in dusty, humid environment.  
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
