User manual SONY XS-W1621

[. . . ] They are divided into front channel speakers (XS-W1621: LeftCenter-Right), subwoofers (HT1S), and dipolar surround speakers (HT1D). FRONTS (Left-Center-Right) The Left and Right front channel speakers should be located on either side of the T. V. Closer to the screen gives you more localization while farther (two to three feet from the screen on each side) will give you a wider sound field. Ideally, you want to try to put the speakers about 45 degrees apart from each other, viewed from the listening position. [. . . ] For example, if your listening position is up against the rear wall of the room, placing the Surrounds about 3 feet in front of the listening position with the null baffle turned to the point at the listening position would work best. Further guidance can be had from your certified THX® dealer. SUB L C SCREEN R SUB SURROUND SURROUND S VIEWING POSITION S FLOOR PLAN product or improperly installing mounting brackets may void your SONY warranty and cause a safety hazard. A SONY factory authorized custom installer can suggest and install appropriate brackets. Contact SONY or your installer/dealer for additional information. CONNECTIONS To connect the loudspeaker systems to the receiver or amplifier, use two-conductor insulated wire. Your SONY dealer can recommend suitable cables, or you can buy wire at most hardware stores. High-quality connectors and cable offer consistent performance that won't deteriorate over time. We recommend #16 AWG wire as a minimum size. If your speakers are more than 30 feet (10 m) from your receiver or amplifier, use larger diameter wire. Make connections at the terminals located on the back of the loudspeaker system. The terminals accept bare wire or dual banana plugs, either of which will provide easy, secure connections. 5 NOTE: Do not attempt to install any type of mounting brackets onto your speakers. Note: You will need at least one subwoofer amplifier channel to drive your passive HT1S Subwoofers. Using two HT1S Subwoofers (from single subwoofer amplifier terminal output). Connect the wire from the amplifier speaker terminal marked "Subwoofer" to the left-hand set of Red and Black binding posts on the first subwoofer. Make sure you follow the Red (+) to Red and Black (-) to Black convention. Unscrew the right-hand binding posts and remove the connecting strap. Place the strap with your owner's manual for safekeeping. Run a second wire from the right hand binding post of the first subwoofer over to the second subwoofer and connect to the left-hand binding posts. DO NOT remove the strap connecting the second subwoofer's right-hand set of binding posts. This results in a series connection of your subwoofers that will not damage your amplifier. Your dual subwoofer connection is complete. Using two HT1S Subwoofers (from two subwoofer amplifier terminal outputs). [. . . ] The polarity (+ & -) of one speaker has been reversed relative to the other. Speakers are too far away from the back and side walls or too far apart. Experiment again with the speaker placement. If you are still encountering problems, consult your SONY dealer. GENERAL CARE The grille is held in place by pins near the edges. [. . . ]
