Main Front Speakers
Main front speakers are critical for
home theater sound. They provide
sound for the action that takes place off
screen, as well as sounds that move
from left to right or right to left. Place
them at least 2 feet away from the TV,
with the centers of their grilles as close
as possible to the listener’s ear level.
Rear Channel Surround
Speakers
Rear channel surround speakers pro-
duce subtle sounds that help create
special effects, convey a sense of
movement, and give viewers the sen-
sation that they are “inside” a movie.
The ideal position for rear channel sur-
round speakers is behind the listening
area and at ear level.
ATTACHING THE
ANTI-SLIP PADS
Remove the adhesive backing and at-
tach the four supplied anti-slip pads as
follows:
When installing the speaker above the
TV set,
place the thicker pads toward
the back of the speaker and the thinner
pads toward the front of the speaker.
When installing the speaker below the
TV set,
place the thinner pads toward
the back of the speaker and the thicker
pads toward the front of the speaker.
CONNECTING THE
SPEAKER TO AN
AMPLIFIER/RECEIVER
Cautions:
• Do not exceed the speaker sys-
tem’s maximum power rating (see
“Specifications”).
• To avoid damage to the speaker
system or amplifier/ receiver, turn
off the amplifier/receiver before
making the connections.
Use 18-gauge speaker wire or lamp
cord for distances up to 50 feet. For
greater distances, use 16-gauge wire.
Your local RadioShack store has a
wide selection of speaker wire.
We recommend you use color-coded
or marked wire to help you correctly
connect the wire. Color-coded wires
have a stripe running down one side of
the conductors. Marked wires have
ridges along one side of the conduc-
tors.
1. With the speaker in its approxi-
mate location, measure the dis-
tance to the amplifier and route the
wire from the speaker to the ampli-
fier.
