Adjusting your amplifier for the System Series 

 
 
All System Series Speakers are designed for use with subwoofer. The adjustments that 
must be made on the setup menu of your AV amplifier are: 
 

Speaker 

Menu on AV amplifier about the size of the speaker 

Front SMALL 

Rear SMALL 

Center SMALL 

 
Also you must adjust the amplifier so that it recognizes that a subwoofer is present 
(Subwoofer YES or ON). 
 
These adjustments are very important for the protection of your speakers.  
 
 
 
 

Precautions 

 
 
 

• 

The AV amplifier you use must be set to SMALL position for all the System Series 
Speakers (front, rear & center). 

• 

Before operating a subwoofer, make sure that the operating voltage of the local 
power supply and the subwoofer are identical. 

• 

Before connecting the speakers make sure that your amplifier is turned off. 

• 

Turn off the subwoofer before connecting the input signal cable on its internal 
amplifier. 

• 

Make sure that you have connected the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each 
speaker to the corresponding plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the amplifier. 

• 

Make sure that all screws on the binding posts are tight enough, especially if you are 
using bare speaker wires. A contact between bare speaker wires may cause short-
circuit which can damage your equipment. 

• 

Avoid the use of Treble - Bass adjustments and Loudness especially at high level 
output. Also avoid the use of equalizers. In this way you protect your speakers and 
you get better sound with less distortion. 

• 

The possibility of damaging your speakers is greater if you use low power amplifiers 
that operate at their limits especially with the Treble – Bass adjustments at their 
maximum value.  
Such amplifiers clip very easily, which can destroy your speakers. Tweeters are 
more vulnerable on this kind of use. 
Therefore, high power amplifiers are more preferable. 

• 

Do not drive each speaker with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum 
power indicated on this instruction manual for the specified speaker.
