User manual CABASSE SANTORIN 30 I BROCHURE

[. . . ] Maintenance - Users must never attempt to maintain the device on their own, except for those maintenance operations described in this manual. Any task beyond regular user maintenance must be performed by qualified service operators. Troubleshooting - You must unplug your device from the power supply and have it checked by a qualified technician if: I The power supply or the plug is damaged. I The device does not seem to work correctly under normal operating conditions. [. . . ] Power cords - The power cords must be laid out in such a way that they cannot be walked on, pinched, bent under other devices. also pay special attention to the matching of the plugs and the connection of the cord to the device. Plastic bags - Keep them away from children to prevent any Cabasse centre speakers or the ones marked «TV» are not concerned with this, being magnetically shielded. In order to maintain the phase relationship and frequency balance of the loudspeaker system, both Attention, loudspeakers must be properly before operating the unit, connected to the power amplifier. Be sure that the operating voltage When properly connected, the of your unit is identical cones of the drivers of both loudwith that of your local speakers will move in the same power voltage. Direction when driven by identical speakers will move in the same signals. If the cones move in opposite directions, the resulting out of phase signals will create a perceptible power loss, particularly in the low frequencies. In either case, always connect red or plus to red or plus and black or minus to black or minus. Connections should be identical for both channels. To check that the speakers are in correct phase, switch the system to mono while music is being played. If the amplifier does not have a phase inversion switch, it will be necessary to change over the connections on one only of the loudspeakers. If in correct phase, the image should be distinctly located between the loudspeakers with a slight loss of bass and low midrange level. If the image is confused and not centrally located and there is a drastic loss of bass and low midrange level, recheck your connections. 3 possibilities are offered to connect the subwoofer with your system : the one requiring the use of the LOW LEVEL INPUT terminals 6 and shielded coaxial RCA-RCA connectors, For a stereo listening with 2 speakers or 2 satellites and 1 subwoofer, we recommend you to place the subwoofer in the front listening area. The placement of the subwoofer against a wall reinforces the low frequencies and limit the reflections from 80 to 200 Hz. 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. I 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. [. . . ] Attention, before operating the unit, be sure that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with that of your local power voltage. For a better sound integration of the subwoofer in the main system, the PHASE 0 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 PHASE 0 each time you move your speakers and each time you adjust the CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 9. Attention, if you use 2 subwoofers, both phase switches must be on the same position. [. . . ]
