Set-up Guide
Positioning
A good starting position for the 450XS is about 20% of the way into
the room as measured from the front wall (the wall you look at as
you are seated listening to the speakers). Start with the speakers six
feet apart. You will want to sit at least 10 to 12 feet away from the
speakers (eight feet if you have the space). We will experiment with
moving the speakers around later.
Power Connections
There are two connections you will
need to make to the 450XS. First, the
power cord for the built-in amplifier
will need to be plugged into a power
socket. A 10-foot power cord is
included with your speakers for this
purpose. We do not recommend
using an extension cord for the
450XS due to the high power
demands of the 1000W amplifier.
However, if you MUST use an
extension cord, use an extremely
heavy duty one.
Before you plug the power cord in,
please make sure that the voltage
selector is set to the proper
voltage
. Taiwan, Japan and North
America will require the 115v setting.
Most European countries and other
Asian countries will require 230v. We recommend that you plug the
450XS into an unswitched outlet, or a switched outlet that will always
be left ON.
There is an on/off switch for the power amplifier. This switch should
always be left on. The built-in amplifier has an auto-sensing circuit
that will automatically shut the amplifier off when there is no music
being played for around 10 minutes. It will immediately switch the
amplifier on if there is music sensed.
