Multi-Channel (Home 

Theater) Installation

Speaker Placement

5.1 System
A 5.1 system consists of a front left, front right, surround left, suround right, center channel, 
and subwoofer channel.  An S1.8Td generally functions as mains, but may also be used 
as surrounds.  In a home theater configuration, the main left and right channels should be 
placed a few feet from the front wall as close to listening height as possible.  The surround 
channels should be placed to either side of the listening area or behind the listening area at 
listening height.

6.1 System
A 6.1 system has the same basic channels as a 5.1 system, with the addition of a rear center 
channel placed directly behind the listening area.

7.1 System
A 7.1 system has the same basic channels as a 5.1 system, with the addition of a left rear 
surround and right rear surround.

A certified installer will finalize the placement of your dARTS speakers in accordance with 
the Audyssey MultEQ XT software. For more information, refer to the SX7000d instruction 
manual.

S1.8Td Speaker Connection

Connect the proper output on your home theater processor or receiver to the  binding posts 
on the S1.8Td using normal polarity (red to red and black to black).
