Any task beyond regular user maintenance must be performed by qualified service operators. [. . . ] Cabasse centre speakers or the ones marked «TV» are not concerned with this, being magnetically shielded. However to obtain the best results, it is always necessary to carry out tests according to the acoustic of the room. Setting up a multi-channel Audio-Video system requires great care when positioning the specific AV speakers. The centre speaker should be placed as close as possible to the screen and where it sounds best from your listening spot while offering the optimal picture/dialogues cohesion. Theoretically, the screen should be located within a virtual triangle formed by the acoustical centres of the main speakers and the centre speaker. Practically speaking, this means that the principal speaker should be placed above the screen if the main speakers are below it, and below the screen if the main speakers are above. The centre speaker should also, if possible, be set slightly back from the others, so that it is located at the same distance from the listener as the main speakers. I The rear speakers or surround should be placed against the side walls, at listening height. They should not be positioned far behind the listening zone. I The subwoofer should be placed in the front listening area, its position against a wall reinforces the extreme low register and limits the reflections between 80 and 200 Hz. However to obtain the best result, it is always necessary to carry out tests according to the acoustics of the room. Your AV processor enables the adjustment in level and delay of each of the 5/6/7 channels of your system. Fine-tuning is necessary to obtain a perfect sound stage. In addition to vertical position of the speakers themselves, their location in the listening room, as well as the acoustical characteristics of the room, are also very important. As it is impossible to indicate a typical location of speaker systems without a few tests, we suggest several general rules that are important to apply in order to obtain the best listening results. For the ideal positioning of your speakers follow diagram. If «d» is the distance between the two speakers, this distance must be higher than 5 ft (1. 5 m) and the two speakers must be at equal distance from the listening area which forms with them an equilateral triangle. I The drivers must be directed towards the listening area. I The speakers should be located so that their diffusion follows the longest dimension of the room. I Generally speaking it is better to avoid putting the speakers in the corners of a room as this amplifies the low frequencies and tends to enhance the room resonances. If possible it is better to place the speakers at least 8 inches (20 cm) from the walls. [. . . ] the recycling of materials will help to preserve natural resources. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product PHASEr For a better sound integration of the subwoofer in the main system, the PHASEr of the subwoofer might have to be inverted (180° position), depending on the distance between the subwoofer and the main speakers. You have to check the PHASEr each time you move your speakers and each time you adjust the CROSSOVER FREQUENCYre. Attention, if you use 2 subwoofers, both phase switches must be on the same position.
