[. . . ] This warranty is in lieu of all other expressed Warranties. If this Product is defective in materials or workmanship as warranted above, your sole remedy shall be repair or replacement as provided above.

When mounting the speakers on stands or on a shelf, place them at or near your ear level. If you choose to wall mount them above ear level, the included wall bracket will angle the speaker downward. orienting the bracket sideways on the satellite will point it slightly inward (Figures D). SURROUND SPEAKERS (Figures A & C, page 9) The best placement for surround channel speakers is high on the side walls, facing each other and slightly behind your listening position. If this placement is not possible, the speakers may be placed on the rear wall. In either case, mount the speakers two to four feet above a seated listener's head. SUBWOOFER (Figures A, B & C, page 9) 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. nEVER LAY THE SUBWOOFER ON THE AMPLIFIER END--THIS WILL DAMAGE THE AMPLIFIER. If your receiver has a "full range" subwoofer output, you may choose to run an RCA cable from this output to the line level input of your subwoofer.

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. " If it is more convenient, parallel wire the subwoofer and satellites from your amplifier. " 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. ALTERNATE SUBWOOFER CONNECTION METHOD (LINE INPUTS) " Line level inputs can be used when you run theLeft and Right Preamp outputs from you receiver or preamp to the subwoofer's line inputs. These are filtered inputs and require a full range output from your electronics to operate correctly. G) " The subwoofer (LFE) output from your receiver is not recommended for use with the RM6900 system. the filter characteristics may not offer satisfactory blending. [. . . ] You'll know the setting is correct when a high quality recorded male voice sounds full without any chestiness. If vocals sound thin turn this control up--if they sound boomy turn it down.
