When properly installed, this product will provide you with years of entertainment pleasure. To obtain the full potential of your new speaker, please read all instructions before starting the installation. [. . . ] Back box volume requirement: A800DR 1. 50 cubic feet (45. 5 liters) Virtuoso DR FlexBracket Retrofit With the Roto-Lock system, the speaker can be installed directly into existing ceilings. Once the hole is cut and the cable is run, the speakers can be installed in a matter of seconds. Once you have determined the area you would like to locate your speakers, you will need to do an obstruction survey. Before you cut the hole for the speaker, be certain no joist, conduit, pipe, heating duct or air return will interfere with the speaker. The Virtuoso A800DR speaker requires a hole that is 10" in diameter. There must also be 5-3/4" of depth within the ceiling for the speaker. A cut out template is provided in the packaging of the speaker. Position the template where the speaker is to be located and pencil an outline on the ceiling. If you are unsure about obstructions drill a small hole in the center of the circle and insert a coat hanger into the hole to feel for possible obstructions. If no obstructions are found, proceed with cutting the hole using a drywall saw and run the speaker wires. Insulating the ceiling cavity Speaker performance can be enhanced by insulating the cavity with fiberglass insulation. When installing speakers in a ceiling, it is best to lay a sheet of unfaced fiberglass insulation over the back of the speaker. To further improve the sound quality, install insulation in the bays adjacent to the speaker location. This will reduce noise produced by the unsupported drywall. 2 INSTALLING THE SPEAKERS Step 1 Remove the paint plug from the speaker. Attach the wire from your amplifier to the terminals on the back of the speaker. Double check the polarity of the speaker wires, amplifier + to speaker + and amplifier - to speaker -. Proper polarity is critical in home theater installations.

Note: The maximum clamp thickness is 1-1/4" (32mm) Line level inputs and outputs Speaker level inputs and outputs Power connection The Virtuoso A800DR amplifier uses a 14 gauge EIA standard 120 volt grounded power cable. Never attempt to operate the amplifier from the accessory outlet of another component. Voltage Switch This switch is set in the 120 volt position from the factory. This is the correct setting for use in the United States. If you are using this amplifier in a country where the voltage is between 220 and 240 volts this switch should be changed to the 230 volt setting. If you are using the amplifier in its 230 volt setting the fuse located above the power connector must be changed. [. . . ] Damage to the unit was caused by accident, abuse or misuse; The unit was opened, modified, or repaired by unauthorized personnel. The unit was not used as outlined in the operating instructions. Phase The phase control can be adjusted from 0 to 180 degrees. A simple explanation of this control would be that at the 0 setting when a positive signal is sent to the woofer the woofer driver will move out. When the control is set to 180 degrees a positive signal will make the woofer driver move in. [. . . ]
