Exposure to high temper atures -
The de vice should
be kept away from heating sources, such as radiators, heaters,
amplifiers or any other similar item likely to make the operat-
ing temperature rise excessively.
UNP ACKING
Open car ton flaps; leave one by one all the components. If
the speakers or the subwoofer appear damaged, do not use
them. Repack everything in the original packing and contact
your authorized Cabasse dealer immediately. We suggest you
to retain the packing for future use.
Caution ! Handle with care the 23 lb (10.5 k g) of the subwoofer.
Use good lifting practice to avoid injury.
Caution ! T o avoid electric shock or fire hazards, do not expose
speakers to rain or moisture.
Caution ! T o avoid danger of suffocation keep the plastic bags that
wrap these speakers out of the reach of children.

POSITIONNING 5
■
X O
2
speakers have all the same technical features; they can
be used on any channel. All the speakers are magnetically
shielded to prevent interference with the image of your televi-
sion set; they can thus be placed near any screen.
■
No solid object or piece of furnitur e should be placed between
the speakers and the listener.
■
Fr ont left and right speakers must be directed towards the lis-
tening area and placed on either side of the screen with at
least a distance of 7 ft and 16 ft (2 and 5 m) between the 2
speakers.
■
The centr e satellite should be placed as close as possible to
the screen: on the top, below, or directly on your television
set. Place the satellite at the vertical of the screen for a perfect
cohesion and precision between dialogues and picture.
■
Surr ound speakers should be placed against the side walls,
at listening height or higher if possible and slightly behind the
listening area.
■
The X O
2
subwoofer should be placed in the front listening
area. To get the best result, it is always necessary to carry out
tests according to the acoustics of the room. To prevent inter-
ference with the screen of your television set, place the sub-
woofer at least 2 ft (0.6m) of your television set.
CONNECTIONS
6
Caution ! Before making an y connection turn off your AV amplifier
and unplug it from the outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to
your system.
Caution ! It is im perative before any connection to respect the setting
in phase by connecting the ter/red of the AV amplifier to the
te/red of the speakers. Proceed then in the same way for ter-
minals -/black.
Caution ! The use of the MAX Cabasse module is essential to the
correct operation of XO
2
SYSTEM; therefore, it is necessary to
respect the following connection instructions.
■
Connect each output of the A V amplifier directly to the
matching XO
2
speaker: “FRONT LEFT”, “FRONT RIGHT”,
“CENTRE”, “SURROUND LEFT” and “SURROUND RIGHT”.
■
Use the MAX module and the 2 CINCH cables f or the con-
nection of the subwoofer. Low frequencies coming from the 5
channels of your AV amplifier are taken directly from the AV
amplifier with the MAX module and directed with one of the
CINCH cable to the MAX IN input of the subwoofer. For the
MAX module, cables are standardized; they can be connected
to any speaker’s outputs of the amplifier. It is absolutely nec-
essary to respect the polarity (+/red, - /black) while connect-
ing the 5 pairs of cables of the MAX in parallel with the speak-
er’s cables connecting the AV amplifier to the XO
2
speakers.
■
Then connect the input LFE IN of the subwoof er to the out-
put SUBWOOFER/LFE of the AV amplifier using the second
CINCH cable.
Check all the connections carried out on the speakers, the
subwoofer and the amplifier. Ensure that each speaker is con-
nected according to its position in the room. Check that all the
speakers are well in phase (+/red in +/red and -/black in -
/black). Once this checking made you can connect your ampli-
fier and the subwoofer to the sector.
Caution ! T o prevent the risks of electric shock take care to com-
pletely insert plugs of sector cords.
SUB WOOFER ADJUSTING
7
T ake care of positioning the sector switch 115V/230V on the
right position according to your country.
The switch ON/OFF (located on the back) of the subwoofer
has 3 positions:
■
ON
■
A UTO: Automatic, the sy stem is put automatically on ON or
OFF according to the presence of signal coming from the AV
amplifier. Put the switch ON/OFF on AUTO or ON position.
■
OFF
■
CR OSSOVER: adjust the pot entiometer on 200 Hz.
■
V OLUME: the adjustment of the volume will depend upon
room positioning, type of amplifiers… With XO
2
SYSTEM the
average position is on a “12 AM” position. For an optimum
adjustment of the volume, we advise you to carry out it start-
ing from a stereo source (CD). Then use the TEST TONE of your
AV amplifier to adjust the level of channel SUBWOOFER/LFE.
