Setup

1. Speaker Placement

For optimal 5.1 surround sound, position the speakers as follows:

• Center Speaker: Place directly in front of the listening position, typically above or below your display.
• Front Left/Right Speakers: Position to the left and right of your display, equidistant from the listening position.
• Surround Left/Right Speakers: Place to the sides or slightly behind the listening position, at ear level or slightly above.
• Subwoofer: Can be placed anywhere in the room, but typically performs well in a corner or near a wall for enhanced bass. Experiment with placement for the best bass response.

2. Connecting the Speakers

1. Connect the satellite and center speakers to the corresponding outputs on the subwoofer using the provided speaker cables. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
2. Connect the wired control unit to the dedicated port on the subwoofer.

3. Connecting Audio Sources

The S760D offers multiple input options:

• Optical Input: For digital audio from TVs, game consoles, or Blu-ray players. Use an optical cable.

• Dual Stereo Inputs (RCA): For connecting stereo audio sources like CD players, smartphones, or computers.

Connect your desired audio source(s) to the appropriate input ports on the subwoofer.
