User manual TANNOY MERCURY FC

[. . . ] Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel ­ + Receiver's Speaker Outputs surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material. To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the colored collar until the passthrough hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. [. . . ] Gently lay the speaker on its side (not its front or back) on a soft, nonabrasive surface. Attach each pad to the bottom of its foot in the widest portion of the recessed area. DO NOT attach the pads if the speaker will be placed on carpeting. NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the pads, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location. CAUTION: Floorstanding (tower) loudspeakers have a high center of gravity and may become unstable and tip over during earthquakes or if rocked, tipped or improperly positioned. If this is a concern, these speakers should be anchored to the wall behind them, using the same procedures and hardware customary for anchoring bookcases and wall units. Customer is responsible for proper installation and proper selection of hardware. TROUBLESHOOTING If there is no sound from any of the speakers: · Check that receiver/ amplifier is on and that a source is playing. · If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier. If there is no (or low) bass output: · Make sure the polarities (+ and ­) of the left and right "Speaker Inputs" are connected properly. · Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system for use with digital ". 1" surround formats. If there is no sound from the surround speakers: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features. · Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is not, check to see if your receiver/amplifier has other surround modes you may use. [. . . ] · In Dolby Digital or DTS mode, make sure your receiver/ processor is configured so that the surround speakers are enabled. · Review the operation of your DVD player and the jacket of your DVD to make sure that the DVD features the desired Dolby Digital or DTS mode, and that you have properly selected that mode using both the DVD player's menu and the DVD disc's menu.
