manual abstract
Please take a few moments to read this manual before you get started. Also, be sure to retain this document should you need to refer to it in the future. The AudioSource System 2.5 Home Theater Speaker System contains four LS2 Compact Speakers (left front, right front, left surround & right surround); one LS2C Center Speaker; and one SW 80 Powered Subwoofer. This system is designed to reproduce high fidelity music, including digital signals. Movies and stereo TV broadcasts will sound more realistic, putting you in the center of the action. The LS2C center channel speaker is video-shielded, allowing placement on top of your television. LS2 speakers are provided for both the front and surround channels, to provide a theater-like experience. This manual is divided into two sections. The first provides information about the LS2 and LS2C speakers. The next section concerns the SW 80 Powered Subwoofer. If you need more information, we offer friendly, toll-free assistance at 1.800.HELP.115 (1.800.435.7115). You may also fax us 24 hours a day at 650.348.8083. If any parts of this system are missing or damaged, do not return to the store where you purchased this system. Please call AudioSource directly at 800-HELP-115 (800-435-7115). LS2 & LS2C Speaker Placement The center channel speaker should be placed as close as possible to the TV, preferably either directly on top of or below it. This locks the sound to the picture. Place the front speakers near the front corners of the room, either on a bookshelf or wall-mounted. Positioning near a corner enhances bass performance. Place the surround speakers either to the side of, or behind, your listening position. Typical placement is on the side walls, slightly above ear level, about two-thirds of the way back from the front of the room. This allows the surround speakers to aim directly at the listener, placing you in the middle of a five-speaker sound field. Speaker Mounting The LS2 speakers include U-shaped brackets to mount the speakers to the wall. For safety, always mount these speakers on a wall that is reinforced from behind. Never mount a speaker on a wall made of unreinforced drywall or plasterboard. If you are unsure, consult a professional contractor. These speakers can also be placed on bookshelves and most types of speaker stands. Hooking Them Up The five-way binding posts accommodate nearly any type of connector and up to 14-gauge wire. For bare wire, press the binding post in to reveal the eye, thread the wire into the eye, and release the spring-loaded connector. For banana plugs, simply insert the plug into the end of the connector. When connecting the speakers, be sure to retain the correct polarity. Attach the wire from the +, red, or positive terminal on one component to the +, red, or positive terminal on the corresponding component's speaker output terminals. The –, black or negative terminals must connect to the respective –, black or negative terminals. This is easy to do by observing the color, stripe, or rib bing that appears on the wire. 1. Connect the left front speaker terminals (+/-) of your receiver to the left LS2 front speaker. 2. Connect the right front speaker terminals (+/-) of your receiver to the right LS2 front speaker. + 3. Connect the left surround speaker terminals (+/-) of your receiver to the left LS2 rear surround speaker. 4. Connect the right surround speaker terminals (+/-) of your receiver to the right LS2 rear surround speaker. + 5. Connect the center channel speaker terminals (+/-) of your receiver to the LS2C center channel speaker. Note: If you are using an outboard Dolby© Surround Processor, the speaker terminals for the center and rear/surround speakers will be found on this component, not on your receiver. SW 80 Powered Subwoofer Subwoofers extend the bass response of your system beyond the limitations of most speakers. They are used with, not in place of, your existing left and right speakers. A subwoofer can dramatically enhance a stereo TV, a stereo system, or a full fledged home theater. Features of the SW 80 The AudioSource SW 80 features a highly efficient ported enclosure, a rugged 8-inch reinforced driver and a eighty-watt amplifier with a passive low frequency crossover network. A line level input is provided for fast and easy connection to virtually any system. Using the Controls Power The power switch has two positions: off and on. When the power LED is lit, the power is on. Level The level control adjusts the volume of the SW 80. Once set, the level control should not require further adjustment. Begin with the level control at the minimum position. Slowly increase the level until you can hear the subwoofer. A subwoofer playing too loud can give your system a muddy sound, so be sure to balance the subwoofer carefully with your other speakers. Output level is relative and can be different from location to location. Always return to the normal listening location to evaluate any setting changes. Placement Guid...
