introduction

Congratulations, and thank you for purchasing an a/d/s/ Home Theatre speaker system. The HT-
series loudspeakers offer the perfect combination of style and performance for your Home
Theatre System. The design of the drivers and computer-optimized crossover networks result in
a smooth, flat frequency response, which in turn yields exceptional imaging and superb transient
impact. The bass response and acoustic output capabilities of your HT-series speakers are
remarkable for units of such compact dimension. a/d/s/ Home Theatre speakers are the ultimate
choice for your discerning taste and lifestyle.
Be sure to save your sales receipt. It is your best record of the date of purchase, which is required
for warranty service.

Read and follow all cautions, warnings and notes.

cautions

serviceable parts inside. If service is required have it performed by a qualified service
professional.

WARNING!

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the speakers to rain or submerge in water. The
speakers should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or
other heat sources.
Be sure all the components in the system are turned off while making audio and power
connections.
