Installation

1. Emplacement des haut-parleurs

The center channel speaker is crucial for dialogue clarity in a home theater system. Place the D-509C directly above or below your television or projection screen, centered horizontally. Ensure it is on a stable, flat surface, such as a TV stand or shelf, and positioned at approximately ear level when seated for the best listening experience.

2. Connexion des câbles d'enceintes

Before connecting, ensure your AV receiver or amplifier is turned off and unplugged from the power outlet. Use high-quality speaker cables for optimal sound performance.

2. Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on both the D-509C speaker and your AV receiver. The positive terminal is usually red, and the negative terminal is black.
3. Connect the positive (+) terminal of the D-509C speaker to the positive (+) center channel output terminal on your AV receiver.
4. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the D-509C speaker to the negative (-) center channel output terminal on your AV receiver.
5. Ensure all connections are secure and that no bare wire strands are touching each other or any other metal parts, which could cause a short circuit.

3. Configuration du système

After connecting the speaker, refer to your AV receiver's manual for instructions on configuring speaker settings. This typically involves setting the center speaker to "Small" or "Large" depending on your system's subwoofer presence and crossover frequency. Run any automatic calibration features your receiver may have (e.g., Audyssey, MCACC) for optimal sound balance.
