Center Channel II is magnetically shielded so it can be placed directly atop, alongside, or beneath the TV monitor Figure 3 3 CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER Figure 4 Balancing Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround signal processors provide an electronic system for balancing the sonic output of the left, center, right and surround speakers. When you activate this test mode, it sends a "noise" signal briefly to each channel in succession. Simply adjust your unit's appropriate channel balancing controls until the center and surround speakers play the test sound at roughly the same output level as the left and right speakers. Once you've adjusted your system this way, it will reproduce Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital program material with the exact balance originally intended. Consult the manual of your Dolby decoder unit for complete instructions on channel balancing. Home Theater Electronic Choices Dolby Pro Logic: Dolby Digital: Set the center channel speaker size setting to "SMALL" for the Center Channel II and Center Channel Plus Set the surround mode on your receiver to Dolby Pro Logic when viewing program material encoded with "Dolby Surround®". Choose the "NORMAL" center channel mode on your processor. If the program you are viewing does not specifically state it was encoded for Dolby Surround, or if you are listening to conventional stereo recordings, be sure to switch your amplifier or receiver to a surround setting that does not use Dolby Pro Logic processing or switch the surround processing off. Cleaning The Cabinets If more than dusting is needed, the finish on your center channel speaker can be cleaned with a window or vinyl cleaning product. Avoid spraying the cleaner directly on the speaker grilles to prevent damage to them or the speaker. 4 10-Year Limited Warranty To the original purchaser, Cambridge SoundWorks, Inc.
