[. . . ] These recommendations are for the optimum placement of the loudspeakers. Use these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure. The S3 loudspeakers are weather-resistant and are specifically designed for outdoor use, such as in a patio area. As noted below, we recommend mounting the speakers under an overhang, such as roof eaves, for added protection. The S3 speakers, because they are resistant to moisture, are also appropriate for mounting in a bathroom, although not inside a bathtub or shower stall. Although these loudspeakers are designed as a mirrored pair, the decision as to which one is left or right will depend on the amount of space left between them. A wider stereo image is presented with the tweeter/midrange array outboard, and a tighter image is presented with the array inboard. Less than 6 ­ 8 feet More than 6 ­ 8 feet WALL-MOUNTING Do not attempt to mount these speakers on a ceiling, on the underside of roof eaves or in a shower stall. The S3 loudspeakers may be positioned on the wall either horizontally or vertically. The grille logo on each speaker may be rotated depending on how the speaker is positioned. Supplied Rubber Pad S3 Wall Installation of Self-Adhesive Rubber Pads: If the S3 is to be placed on a surface (such as a table top or shelf) rather than being wallmounted, the enclosed selfadhesive rubber pads are to be attached to the bottom of the speaker cabinet in their designated recessed locations. If the S3 is to be wall-mounted, then the four self-adhesive rubber pads should be attached to the back of the speaker, as shown in the bottom right diagram. When angle-mounting the S3, only two of the rubber pads are required, and they need to be installed on the back of the loudspeaker, near the lower edge, so that they are located between the S3 back and the mounting surface. Please see the enclosed installation template for more details.

Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains RIGHT LEFT ­ + ­+ ­ + ­ + Speaker Outputs Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. It is equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material. TROUBLESHOOTING If there is no sound from any of the speakers: · Check that receiver/ amplifier is on and that a source is playing. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. · Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. [. . . ] Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. · Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. [. . . ]
