HTS System Set-Up Guide
This high performance 5.1 system has
been built and tested with care and
precision, to provide first class performance
and reliable operation. To ensure maximum
benefit from ownership, and for reasons
of safety, please read the following
information before using for the first time.
This is an ideal positioning set-up, in practice there will be
inevitable compromises depending on your room layout and
the furniture within it. Refer to your decoder or AV Home
Cinema receiver instructions for further advice in compensating
for non-ideal situations.
Place the speakers in positions relative to the viewing screen
in your room as follows:
• Centre speaker close to, and either above or below
the screen.
• Front Left speaker 1 to 2 metres to the left of the screen.
• Front Right speaker 1 to 2 metres to the right of the screen
Try to get all 3 front speakers to be in the same plane - the
same distance from the viewing position and at least 300mm
(12 inches) away from any back wall which may be present
behind the screen. Continue positioning the rear speakers
as follows:
• Left Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing position
and to the left.
• Right Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing
position and to the right.
Viewed from above, Front Left, Front Right, Left Rear and
Right Rear speakers should form a rectangle with the viewing
position in the centre of the rectangle.
• Place the subwoofer on the floor alongside the wall nearest
to the screen. The exact position isn't critical and can be
adjusted once the system is up and running.
• DO NOT PLACE THE SUBWOOFER CLOSER THAN 1
METRE FROM A VIEWING SCREEN USING A CATHODE
RAY TUBE. This warning does not apply to Plasma and
LCD screens.
POSITIONING THE HTS SPEAKERS
PLACING THE CENTRE SPEAKER
Locate the special Centre Speaker performance platform
within the packaging materials.
Place the Centre Speaker onto the platform and rotate to a
suitable angle.
CONNECTING THE HTS SPEAKERS TO YOUR A/V
RECEIVER OR AMPLIFER
Connect the speakers to the AV Home Cinema receiver or
separate amplifier terminals as follows:
• Measure out suitable lengths of cable from the roll of
cable supplied, to reach between the speakers and your
AV or Home Cinema receiver speaker output terminals.
• Note that the cable is polarised, that is the cable has a
grey stripe along one of the two conductors. Use this as
a guide to connect black terminals on the speakers to
black terminals on your equipment.
• Wire up the system connecting each speaker to the
appropriate terminals on the receiver or amplifier making
quite sure that cables connect red to red terminals
(+ to +) and black to black terminals, (- to -). Take care
to distinguish between left and right channels, and the
front and rear channels, as seen from the viewing position.
This is a very important stage in setting up. Getting things
wrong at this stage is the most likely reason for disappointing
results when troubleshooting the system.
CONNECTING THE HTS SUBWOOFER
TO YOUR SYSTEM
The HTS subwoofer should be connected directly to your 5.1
decoder, AV home cinema receiver or integrated DVD/ decoder/
amplifier as follows:.
• Locate the RCA or Phono socket on your equipment
labelled 'LFE OUT','SUB OUT' or 'SUBWOOFER OUTPUT'.
• Using a single RCA to RCA (also known as phono to
phono) good quality interconnect cable of suitable length,
connect from the 'LFE/SUB/SUBWOOFER OUTPUT' on
your equipment to the 'LINE INPUT' on the HTS100/
200 subwoofer.
• Locate and connect the mains lead supplied to the
HTS subwoofer.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE MAINS LEAD (POWER CORD)
TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY JUST YET.
