The system consists of a three-way full range front satellite, System 20 LCR, and a switchable Dipole/Bipole surround speaker, System 20 SR. We recommend completing the system (especially for movie reproduction) with the addition of a THX certified subwoofer like the Atlantic Technology 372 PBM. [. . . ] If placed in the ceiling, position them with the drivers facing the front and back of the room with the GGGGGGGGGGG 4 GGGGGGGGGGG System 20 LCR and SR InWall Speakers Left speaker to the left side of the room and the Right on the right side. As much as possible keep the null centered on the prime listening position. IMPORTANT: Please note that there are dedicated left and right Dipole surround speakers and they are labeled as such. This is done to ensure that the drivers facing the front of the room are in phase with the system's front speakers. Left and right refer to the left and right wall when you are seated facing the screen. There is no practical benefit to mounting the speaker horizontally, unless there is an issue of limited vertical space or aesthetics. If you wish to mount the speaker horizontally in a 16 inch on center wall, modifications will have to be made to the wall framing. Rotating and Tilting the Mid-high Baffle If mounting the 20 LCR horizontally, remove the 8 mid/high baffle mounting screws and rotate the baffle 90 degrees as shown in Fig. At the same time determine whether the mid/high baffle should be level or tilted up or down. If the speakers are significantly above or below ear level (more than 2 feet) when seated, the baffle should be tilted to compensate. While the 8 screws are removed, lift the mid/high baffle from the speaker and remove the leveling spacer located under and within the baffle. The spacer is taped to the baffle at the top edge, so cut through the tape before trying to remove the spacer. The spacer is flexible and can be removed without disconnecting any wires. Simply lift one corner of the spacer over the baffle corner and then spread the spacer while removing it the rest of the way. 5 Rotate the baffle to achieve the desired tilt and reinstall using the same 8 screws, being careful not to overtighten them. There is a strip of self adhesive acoustic foam included in the Owners Manual packaging that should be attached to the flat section of the woofer baffle or bezel assembly that has been exposed by tilting the baffle. GGGGGGGGGGG 5 GGGGGGGGGGG System 20 LCR and SR InWall Speakers Infrared Eye Repeater Opening There's a cutout located on the front of the System 20 LCR that's designed to accept most IR repeater receivers. This cutout is located under the round Atlantic Technology "Wave logo" adjacent to the woofer. To remove the Wave logo simply push it out from behind. Rear Enclosure and Internal Wall Treatment An optional enclosure is available for the System 20 LCR (IN-BOX-20LCR). It's designed to be used in new construction and must be installed before the wall board is applied. The benefits this enclosure provides include optimum volume for the woofer and a level of sound isolation for the adjacent room. The optional enclosure comes with the Installation Bracket pre-installed. You can also create an enclosure within the wall that provides the required cubic volume. The larger the volume, the better the bass response will be, up to 1 cubic foot. [. . . ] Be very careful not to overtighten the screws as this can make the grille difficult or impossible to install. The outer trim bezel has been specially designed to flex and conform to the wallboard. This makes for a good seal and eliminates rattles but it also means that the speaker mounting screws should be snug, but not overly tight. Installing and Removing the Grille The grille is packed separately in the box with System 20 speakers. To install the grille, press it carefully into the opening in the frame assembly. [. . . ]
