Setup

Unpacking and Inspection

• Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
• Inspect all speakers and cables for any signs of damage. Contact your retailer immediately if any damage is found.
• Retain packaging for future transport or storage.

Speaker Placement

• Subwoofer: Place the subwoofer in a corner or along a wall for optimal bass response. Experiment with placement to find the best sound for your room.
• Front Speakers (2): Position these speakers equidistant from your primary listening position, typically on either side of your television or display.
• Center Speaker (1): Place the center speaker directly above or below your television, ensuring it is centered with the screen for clear dialogue.
• Surround Speakers (2): Position these speakers to the sides or slightly behind your listening position, at or slightly above ear level.

Connections

• Ensure all audio components (AV receiver, television, etc.) are powered off before making connections.
• Connect the satellite speakers and center speaker to the appropriate speaker outputs on your AV receiver using speaker wire. Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
• Connect the subwoofer to the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) or Subwoofer output on your AV receiver using an RCA cable.
• Plug the subwoofer's power cord into a suitable AC outlet.
• For wireless connectivity, ensure your source device's Bluetooth is enabled and pair it with the speaker system. Refer to your source device's manual for Bluetooth pairing instructions.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

• Ensure all connections are secure.
• Power on your AV receiver and then the subwoofer.
• The system will power off when the AV receiver is turned off, or can be manually powered off via the subwoofer's power switch or remote control.

Volume Control

• Adjust the overall system volume using your AV receiver's remote control.
• The subwoofer typically has its own volume control, allowing you to fine-tune the bass level independently.

Source Selection

• Select your desired audio source (e.g., TV, Blu-ray player, Bluetooth device) using your AV receiver's input selector.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Dust the speaker cabinets regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
• Do not spray cleaning liquids directly onto the speakers.

General Care

• Ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer to prevent overheating.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the speakers.
