1. After speaker wiring has been completed, connect each speaker’s ac
power cord to the nearest ac receptacle. You should see an LED
illuminate, indicating the amplifier is on (see Figure 6 on previous
page). If not, verify the ac outlet is delivering power or refer to
Troubleshooting
on the next page.
2. 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
refer to the “Troubleshooting” section on the next page for more help.
3. Listen to a variety of music selections and note the bass level. If you
feel there is too much bass, you can reduce it by adjusting the BASS
control from the “normal” center-detent position towards the
minimum “1” setting (see Figure 6 on previous page). Conversely, if
you want more bass output, rotate the level control towards the
maximum “9” setting.
NOTE: The amount of bass you hear will be affected by a number of
different factors, including the room’s size and shape, the construction
materials used to build the room, the listener’s position relative to the
speakers, and the position of the speakers in the room. If there is too
much bass, move the speakers away from nearby walls. Conversely, if
you want more bass, place the speakers closer to the walls (also see
Figure 3 on page 4).

USE
Compositions Overture OVTR 2 and OVTR 3 speakers each use a built-
in fuse to protect the subwoofer amplifier. To replace a fuse with a new
one (see enclosed spare), perform the following procedure:
1. Unplug the speaker’s ac power cord. Then lay the speaker on its side
and locate the fuse holder on the bottom (refer to Figure 1 on page 2).
2. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, place the tip in the indent and
turn the fuse cap counter-clockwise.
3. Remove the old fuse and replace it with new one having the same
value and rating. For the OVTR 2, use a 2AG 5A SB 250V fuse. For
the OVTR 3, use a 2AG 7A SB 250V fuse.
Do not substitute the blown fuse with another fuse value or
rating. Doing so will void the warranty.
4. Insert the cap holding the new fuse into the holder and turn
clockwise to lock it.
5. Carefully flip the speaker upright to sit on its feet. Then plug the
speaker’s ac power cord back into the nearest ac outlet.
