2  HTS SET UP GUIDE

This high performance Tannoy loudspeaker system has been built and tested with care and precision to provide first class 

performance and reliable operation. To ensure maximum benefit from ownership and for reasons of safety, please read through all 

the information in this owner’s manual before operating and using this system for the first time. Tannoy HTS systems are primarily 

designed for use with the following equipment:-

•  An AV or Home Cinema Receiver with integral 5.1 decoder, 5 power amplifiers and a dedicated LFE or subwoofer line level    

 output.

•  An integrated DVD player with 5.1 decoder, 5 power amplifiers and a dedicated LFE or subwoofer line level output.

•  A 5.1 decoder (with LFE or subwoofer output) feeding 5 separate power amplifiers. A 5.1 decoder separates digital audio signals  

  from DVD, CD or Digital Broadcast sources into five separate audio channels which feed the five separate speakers in the HTS  

  system and a sixth channel which feeds an HTS subwoofer. Each speaker provides a separate function. The functions are:

•  Centre Speaker which carries most of the dialogue or solo performances.

•  Front Left and Front Right Speakers which carry special effects and left/right stereo information.

•  Left Rear and Right Rear Speakers which carry special effects information.

In addition, the HTS subwoofer provides very low frequency sounds and special effects. The subwoofer supports low frequencies 

for all 5 audio channels. Please refer to the separate Owner’s Manual provided with the subwoofer for full instructions.

  these may be used to protect sensitive floor surfaces. Alternatively, self adhesive feet are provided for hard floor surfaces.
