Read these instructions -- Read all the safety and operation instructions before operating the KAS-103/KAS-203/KAS-303 System. Keep these instructions -- Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference. [. . . ] It may take some experimentation with different locations for the surround speakers to suit your preference and your room. The center channel speaker should be placed as close to the TV as possible, preferably directly above or below the set. Each satellite is supplied with a mounting bracket to allow hanging the speaker system on the wall. All that is needed is a good solid mount in the wall (into a wood stud if possible) to securely hold the weight of the speaker. Leave approximately 1/8 of a screw head exposed from the wall and the keyhole slot in the mounting bracket will slide down over the head of the screw to hang the speaker on the wall (Figure 2). The metal bracket supplied on the rear of each satellite can be removed and an aftermarket swivel-type satellite mount can be used. Your Gateway® satellite speaker will accommodate both the "Omnimount 10 Series" and the "Sound Gear SATP Series" and other manufacturers' mounts. Follow the instructions included with the mount for proper wall attachment.

Your amplifier should be turned off throughout this procedure. C SETUP KAS-103 SETUP IMPORTANT: Make certain all stereo system components including the subwoofer are turned OFF before proceeding. Refer to Figure 4 for proper connection. Use the supplied male RCA to RCA line level cable to connect the subwoofer to the receiver. The satellites connect to the receiver as shown with the red/black wires supplied. Be sure to maintain proper polarity when connecting the satellites and center. Make sure the red wire goes to the (+) positive and the black wire goes to the (-) negative on both the receiver and speaker. 5 Figure 4: KAS-103 Setup KAS-203, KAS-303 Setup IMPORTANT: Make certain all stereo system components including the subwoofer are turned OFF before proceeding. Refer to Figures 5 and 6 for proper connection. Use the supplied male RCA to RCA line level cable to connect the subwoofer to the receiver. The satellites connect to the receiver as shown with the red/black wires supplied with your system. Be sure to maintain proper polarity when connecting the satellites and center. Make sure the red wire goes to the (+) positive and the black wire goes to the (-) negative on both the receiver and speaker. Note: The rear center satellite is only used with the KAS-303 System. CC303 Center Setting up the center and front satellites is different than other standard speakers. Follow the wiring diagram in Figures 5 and 6 closely to produce the correct setup and to obtain "Ventriloquist" operation. When wired as shown and the switch on the upper center of the center channel speaker is in the UP position you will experience the "Ventriloquist" effect. This causes the small front satellites to effectively sound like much larger bookshelf speakers.
