INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Noise Interference may result if this product is placed too close to an operating
television set or a computer, or if it is placed on top of an amplifier or power con-
ditioner product.
High temperatures are detrimental to the performance and longetivity of electronic
equipment. Do not place too close to high temperature devices.
CONNECTIONS
The Center Surround 3X connects between the existing processor surround output
channels and the power amplifiers and speakers. The Center Surround 3X can ac-
cept either standard line level processor outputs from RCA jacks or amplifier out-
puts which normally connect to the surround speakers. If you have an integrated
processor/power amplifier, it may be possible to break the signal between the pro-
cessor outputs and the amplifier inputs. See your equipment manual for informa-
tion on whether this is possible. If so, you may be able to use the surround amplifier
channels in the integrated unit. If this is not possible, then you will need a separate
dual channel power amplifier for the Left Surround and Right Surround speakers.
POWER
Connect the power pack plug into the POWER jack. Make sure it is fully seated.
Use ONLY the power pack supplied. Do not substitute as damage could occur.
LINE LEVEL SOURCE
If you are using the line level surround outputs from your processor, disconnect
them from your existing surround channel amplifiers and connect them to the RCA
jacks marked LS IN and RS IN. Push the SOURCE pushbutton to the LINE position.
SPEAKER LEVEL SOURCE (AMPLIFIER OUTPUTS)
If you are using the existing surround amplifier speaker outputs as your source, then
connect them using ordinary speaker hookup wire to the 4 terminals marked LS+
and LS- and RS+ and RS-. Connect the + terminals to the hot side of your amplifier
outputs and the - terminals to the ground or minus side of your amplifier outputs.
Release the SOURCE pushbutton to the SPKR position.
OUTPUTS
Connect a RCA patch cable from the LS OUT and RS OUT jacks to the Left Sur-
round and Right Surround amplifier inputs. Connect a RCA patch cable from the CS
OUT jack to the amplifier input for the rear wall surround speakers. If you have a
surround subwoofer system, connect a RCA patch cable from the SW OUT jack to
the Subwoofer Amplifier input. The SP1 and SP2 outputs are for special future for-
mats such as overhead surround channels and are not used at present.
