Warning:
Before turning on the amplifier, be certain that no stray wire strands are touching across the two
terminals as this might damage your amplifier.
Finally, check the polarity of your front speakers by listening to some music. If the sound seems hol-
low, unusually spread out, or has weak bass, recheck your connections for proper polarity. If necessary,
reverse any out of phase connections. Only one speaker wired out of phase is usually the culprit.
Placement and Operation
Speaker/room interactions have a huge impact on the sound of the system. Moving the speakers just a
little bit can make a dramatic difference in what you hear. The ultra-compact design of System 4.5
provides you with maximum placement flexibility while creating a large, seamless, acoustically
accurate soundfield for your home theater or music system. The best placement of the speakers will
vary from room to room. Use the following placement guidelines and Figure 3 as a starting point. But
also feel free to experiment. In fact, it may be beneficial to hook up the speakers with some extra wire
and to simply drape the wire across the floor before installing the speakers permanently. This will
allow you the opportunity to move the speakers around easily so you can find the best sonic and
visual locations.
