[. . . ] In either case, mount the speakers two to four feet above the seated listener's head. SUBWOOFER (Figures A, B, C & D) The subwoofer may be placed in an entertainment center, behind furniture or next to a sofa or chair. The subwoofer may be placed anywhere in the room but you will get the best performance when it is on the same side of the room as the front satellites and near a wall or corner. It may lie on its side, but placing it on its feet gives the best performance. [. . . ] " If there is no stud behind the chosen location, install #10 wall anchors (not supplied) into the wall by following wall anchor manufacturer's instructions, leaving screw heads protruding 1/4". Always use two wall anchors and screws per speaker. " Line up speaker so that screw heads pass through the large center holes of the keyhole slots. Let speaker slide straight down, allowing screw heads to slip behind the smaller end of the keyhole slots. " If the supplied wall mount brackets do not allow the mounting angle which meets your needs, or if you wish to ceiling mount the satellites, use optional, fully articulating "ball and socket" type mounting brackets, such as those made by OmniMount. Measure enough wire to reach from your receiver or amp to each speaker plus an additional 12" to allow moving the speakers or receiver without having to disconnect the wires. one of the terminals on the rear of the speaker is marked red (+) and the other black (-). Make certain that you connect the wire from the red (+) terminal of your amplifier to the red (+) terminal on your speaker, and the wire from the black (-) terminal of the amplifier to the black (-) terminal on your speaker. Most wire has some indication (such as color code, ribbing, or writing) on one of the two conductors to help maintain consistency. If your speakers sound "thin" with little bass and little to no center image, the chances are that one of the speaker wires is connected backwards. This system features a powered subwoofer that has a built-in low pass filter to separate the bass from the full range signal. Some receivers also contain filters that may interfere with sound quality when coupled with the filters in a powered subwoofer. For this reason, it is not advisable to use the "subwoofer output" on your receiver. If your receiver has a "full range" subwoofer output, you may choose to run an RCA cable from this output to the low level line input of your subwoofer. Before using this option, make certain that your receiver's subwoofer output is truly "full range, " otherwise the combination of filters will cancel each other out, thus interfering with sound quality. Refer to your equipment manual, or consult your dealer before choosing this option. PREFERRED SUBWOOFER CONNECTION METHOD " Connect the left and right front speaker outputs of your receiver or amplifier to the SPEAKER LEVEL INPUTS of the powered subwoofer. " Connect the center channel speaker directly to the center speaker output of your receiver or amplifier. " Connect the surround satellites directly to the rear or surround channel outputs of your receiver or amplifier. ADJUSTING THE POWERED SUBWOOFER The subwoofer has been optimized to blend perfectly with the satellites of your RM system.
