We have specifically designed this series of loudspeakers to offer exceptional performance and value. A great deal of time and effort has been spent ensuring that your new system will accurately reproduce both movies and music. Additionally, Compact Theater System Two has been optimized for use with all surround formats including Dolby Surround®, Dolby Pro-Logic®, Dolby Digital 5.1® and DTS®. Finally, your new speaker system is precision crafted to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free service. Please take a few moments to read this manual thoroughly. It includes many helpful tips on connecting and placing your home theater speaker components. This manual will help you set up all the Compact Theater System Two components, except the subwoofer. Compact Theater Series Subwoofers are covered in detail in separate manuals. Compact Theater Two LR Front Channel Speaker The Compact Theater Two LR Front Channel Speakers are two- way systems intended only for use with a quality subwoofer. Each speaker contains a precision 5-1/4" Polymer composite woofer and a precision crafted 1" Mylar tweeter, using a powerful neodymium magnet, in an acoustically designed cabinet. Additionally, each LR contains a 5-1/4” ABR (Auxiliary Bass Radiator) for increased output and more powerful bass response. Compact Theater Two LR speakers are magnetically shielded so they may be placed right next to a TV set without concern. Compact Theater Two C Center Channel Speaker The Compact Theater Two C Center Channel Speaker contains the same driver configuration as the LR. The Compact Theater Two C is designed for use in home theater systems which employs a dedicated center channel speaker. The Theater Two C center speaker is designed to be used in a horizontal position, as opposed to the vertical positioning intended for the Compact Theater Two LR. It too is magnetically shielded so it may be placed directly adjacent to your TV set with no adverse effects. The Two C includes a unique tilting base and a three position HF level control which add to its flexibility and performance. Compact Theater Two SR Surround Speaker The Compact Theater Two SR Surround Speaker is intended for use in audio/video sound systems which includes dedicated surround channels. Each speaker has a unique Dipole driver arrangement in order to produce a broad and diffuse sound field. Please note that the object of the surround speakers in a home theater is to reproduce all those “environmental” sounds from the soundtrack that are used as cues to tell you “where you are.” Dipoles are undoubtedly the best and most practical way to create such an involving soundfield at home. It’s therefore important to use the Compact SR Two surround speakers only for surround purposes in home theater applications. Connecting Your System We recommend that you connect your Compact Theater System Two with high quality dual conductor stranded wire of 18 gauge or larger, for lengths up to 25 feet. (Remember, the lower the gauge number, the larger the wire). Use 16 gauge dual conductor or larger for longer runs of wire. Contact your audio/video dealer for specific cable recommendations and further information for special circumstances. Warning: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your equipment, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making connections to the speakers. Since Compact Theater System Two speakers use industry standard “five way binding posts” you can connect them by using a variety of readily available audio connectors such as spade lugs, banana plugs (single or double types), “pin” connectors, or you can: 1. Remove 1/2" of insulation from each wire end. 2. Twist the stranded wire together, keeping the two ends separate. 3. Place the appropriate wire through the appropriate postholes in the connectors. These holes are revealed when you loosen the connector capscrew. 4. Screw down the capscrew tightly, but do not overtighten. 5. It’s a good idea to check the tightness of these connections within 24 hours of making the initial installation and then every few months, as they can loosen over time. We recommend that you check your local electrical codes to make sure that you are not using an improper connector. It is important to observe polarity while making speaker connections: red (+) terminals on the amplifier to red (+) on the speaker, black (-) on the amplifier to black (-) on the speaker. Look carefully at the wires you are using and note that one conductor of each pair is identified by either color, printing on the insulation, ridges on the insulation, or a thread intertwined with one set of the wire strands. By convention, the marked wire is connected to the red (+) terminal. Warning: Before turning on the amplifier, be certain that no stray wire strands are touching across any two terminals as this might damage your amplifier. Finally, check the polarity of your front speakers by listening to some music. If the sound seems hollow, unusually spread o...
