Installation

For optimum performance the Theater must be tilted on

its stand towards the main listening position and directed

towards the audiences ears (see figure 3). After you have

placed your Theater in its final location, loosen the 2 knobs

located on the stand arm, pivot the Theater towards the

main listening position, and then re-tighten the knobs.

Installation Options

On the Television

If your television provides a wide, level and stable platform,

the shielded Theater can be placed directly on top of the

television (see figure 3). For this option we recommend

installation of the rubber bumper feet.

On the Wall

The adjustable mount (stand) allows you to mount the

Theater on the wall (see figures 3 and “Mounting the

Theater On A Wall,” pages 8–10). If hanging the Theater

on the wall is the best placement for your system, the

adjustable mount (stand) will allow you to tilt the Theater

towards the listening position.

On the Floor

Placing the Theater on the floor will position it too low to

blend with the front speakers. (see figure 3). If placing the

Theater on the floor is the best placement for your system,

the adjustable mount (stand) will allow you to tilt the

Theater towards the listening position. For this option we

recommend installation of the rubber bumper feet.

WARNING!

Installation other than that

described in the body of this document requires

specific documentation from MartinLogan.

If you are using the Theater on top of your television, or

setting it on any type of surface, we recommend installing

the 5 rubber bumper feet included with the Theater.

Rubber Bumper Feet Installation Instructions:

1. Prepare a surface to work on by laying down a towel or

large soft cloth on top of a large flat surface.

2. Securely tighten the 2 knobs on the theater stand arm,

making sure the Theater cabinet is level with the stand.

3. Turn the Theater upside down so that the bottom of the

stand is pointing up.

4. Insert the 5 rubber bumper feet in the 5 outer holes (see

figure 2).
