UGGESTIONS
We recommend that you not operate your speakers or subwoofer with the bass, treble and loud-
ness controls set to full boost. This will place undue strain on your electronics and speakers and
could damage them.
The volume control setting on your receiver/processor is not a specific indication of the overall
loudness level of the speakers. The only important consideration is the loudness level at which
the system can be played regardless of where the volume control is set.
Always turn down the volume control setting on your receiver/processor when changing a cas-
sette or CD, or switching inputs to AM or FM operation. Excessively loud transients (clicks or
popping sounds) can damage the satellite speakers and possibly the subwoofer.
Whenever changing cables, pulling plugs, etc., ALWAYS TURN OFF ALL EQUIPMENT, includ-
ing the subwoofer. This prevents transients from entering the speakers and prevents electrical
energy from reaching you. Keep all connections out of the reach of children.

PERATING THE
S
YSTEM
Check the speakers for playback by first setting the audio system volume control for a
minimum level, and then applying power to your system. Play a favorite music or video
segment and increase the volume control to a comfortable level.
NOTE: You should hear balanced audio reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum. If not, check all
wiring connections and see In Case of Trouble for more help.
When using the HTS-10 System in a Dolby* Pro Logic* home-theater system, make sure the receiv-
er’s center-channel mode is set to “Normal”. When using the HTS-10 System in a Dolby Digital or
DTS
®
®
home-theater system, make sure the receiver’s speaker modes are set to “Small”.
