[MOUNTING TO FLAT PANEL MOUNTING BRACKETS]
There are additional mounting inserts on the rear of the speaker cabinet to facilitate at panel mounts (see note on Figure 1). There are six
threaded inserts provided that coincide with the requirements of most manufacturers’ mounts. Please check with your Phase Technology
dealer for appropriate mounts and compatibility.
[CARING FOR YOUR PHASE TECHNOLOGY SPEAKER]
All Phase Technology speakers are finished with a high degree of craftsmanship in either hand polished paint or vinyl laminates. We recommend
using a lint-free rag with a small amount of glass cleaner to maintain the long-lasting beauty of the finish. Avoid products containing silicones,
oils, oil derivatives, or solvents. Enclosures finished in vinyl laminates may be cleaned with a damp cloth as necessary.
[MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE]
Because of Phase Technology’s uncompromising quality control programs, it’s unlikely that your speakers will ever need service if connected
and used as outlined in this Owners’ Manual. In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, please contact your Phase Technology dealer.
Your dealer has the necessary factory-authorized parts and trained technicians to quickly restore your speaker to its original performance
specifications.

Since the TEATRO
®
soundbar speakers perform as the front three
speakers in a home theater system they are to be used and set
up as you would any normal 5.1 to 7.2 surround sound system
for balance and level adjustments. For the best performance, the
amplifier should be set to the small speaker mode for the left/
center/right front speakers. The subwoofer setting should be
set to 80 Hz. We recommend the use of our Phase Technology
subwoofers and surround speakers to complement your TEATRO
®
Soundbar.

The EVT
™
switch (Fig. 4), located on the front of the speaker
under the grille, activates Phase Technology’s Enhanced Voice
Technology feature. This feature is designed to improve the clarity
of the voice or dialogue from the center channel speakers in the
system. Flipping the switch to the up position engages the circuit
and down turns it off.
