The most popular places used for surround speaker placement are the following: Side walls: To maximize the ambient field for side wall mounting, position the speakers adjacent to and slightly behind the primary listening area at a height of approximately 6 feet. Rear walls: To maximize the ambient field for rear wall mounting, position the speakers so they flank the main listening area and point towards the front of the room. They should be raised to a height of approximately 6 feet and should ideally have a space of 6 feet between them. Stand mount: Place the stand mounted speakers slightly behind and on each side of the main listening area. They can be anywhere from 1-6 feet behind or to the side of the main listening area. If you have followed these guidelines, then there should be speakers surrounding your listening area, which will result in the encompassing surround sound feeling. These are basic guidelines and can be tailored to suit the decor of your room. See Diagrams 5-7. NOTE: All models of athena TECHNOLOGIES® Audition series speakers are magnetically shielded, so placement near your Television is possible. If you notice any discoloration of the TV's picture, the speaker needs to be repositioned until the discoloration has disappeared. • SPEAKER CONNECTIONS Caution: * Turn off all power in your audio/video system before proceeding with your installation. Not doing so could result in potential damage to the system. Connecting the Speakers On the rear of your athena TECHNOLOGIES® speakers are red and black binding posts. Using standard speaker wire, connect the system one channel at a time, and start your process at the Receiver. Connect the speaker wire from the positive (RED +) terminal on the receiver to the positive (RED+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the receiver to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker. Do this one channel at a time until all of your speakers are connected properly. Be careful to correctly match positive and negative, as well as the correct speaker to the correct channel. See Diagrams 1-4. NOTE: If you inadvertently reverse one of the connections (i.e, red to black), you will notice a severe lack of bass from your system. This is called wiring the system "Out of Phase". If this occurs, check the wiring and re-connect as necessary. A Note about Speaker wire Contrary to popular belief, not all speaker wire is the same. The speaker wire is the only contact the speaker has with the amplifier. If thin, low quality cable, such as "lamp cord" is used, then the overall sound quality will suffer, particularly in lengths of 10 feet or more. We strongly recommend the use of high quality speaker cable to obtain the best performance from your speakers. • WARRANTY OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA Outside of North America the warranty may be changed to comply with local regulations.
