Home Theater One Wireless Transmitter

7. Speaker Placement
To get the best audio reproduction from surround-sound encoded material,
Dolby and DTS recommend you place the speakers in a configuration as close
as possible to the following diagram.
Make sure each speaker can directly “see” the other speakers in the room and
that they are pointed toward the center of the room. This enables the
SpeakerFinder technology in your system to create the most accurate speaker
map; delivering the best surround-sound.

The display Map shows a different number of speakers than I have.
All speakers must be powered on when the Home Theater One Wireless Transmitter
is started. If they are not powered on, they will not produce sound. Also, if there are
obstructions in front of the speaker, the system might not be able to find it with the
SpeakerFinder sensors. The system shows only the speakers it can find.
For instance, if you have a 7.1 system (seven speakers and a subwoofer), but the
system can only find five speakers and a subwoofer, the display shows “Map 5.1”.
To correct these issues, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure all the speakers are powered on. If a speaker is powered on, you’ll see
a blinking green light on the back panel of each speaker.
2.
Make sure each speaker has a clear, direct path to the other speakers in the system.
Make sure no furniture, plants, pets, or people are in front of the speakers.
3.
Remove the speaker grill from the center speaker. It can be reinstalled after the
system has been successfully set up.
4.
Use the Refresh Map menu item (see the section “Refresh Map” for more details
on how to re-run the SpeakerFinder process and create a new map of the system).

The front panel display shows MAP INV.
This front panel display means the system has an invalid map. The system will
produce sound with any configuration of speakers, however, the following
configurations will give the best results:
Other layouts still produce sound, but they show MAP INV. If you have a supported
map type, but are seeing MAP INV, there might have been a mapping error. To
correct this, follow these steps:
1.
Make sure all the speakers are powered on. If a speaker is powered on, you’ll see
a blinking green light on the back panel of each speaker.
2.
Make sure each speaker has a clear, direct path to the other speakers in the system.
Make sure no furniture, plants, pets, or people are in front of the speakers.
