D e s c r i p t i o n
The Boston DigitalTheater 6000 is an integrated home theater sound system. It accepts signals
f rom digital or analog sources, decodes them to produce surround sound for up to six channels
and provides the amplifiers and speakers for those six channels. The power section uses separate
actively-equalized amplifiers for each of the speakers, including the subwoofer. All that is needed
is a DVD player, digital DSS satellite TV feed, or HiFi VCR, and a monitor or TV for a complete
home theater system. The DigitalTheater 6000 delivers wide-range, high-fidelity sound from a
package that is easy to install and a pleasure to use.
Dolby Digital Decoder
DigitalTheater 6000 uses a state-of-the-art
Dolby Digital decoder. Its accepts a digital data
s t ream from either of two digital inputs or
c o n v e rts either of two stereo analog inputs to
digital format. The digital data can be either
encoded Dolby Digital or linear PCM data. The
decoder automatically detects the diff e rence.
Center Channel Unit
This integrated unit goes on top of the TV and
houses the center speaker, an LED display, and
the infra-red remote control re c e i v e r.
DigitalTheater 6000 utilizes MagnaGuard
®
magnetic shielding on all speakers to pre v e n t
television picture interf e rence or accidental
disk erasure. The pre - p rogrammed universal
remote control operates the DigitalTheater
6000, and hundreds of diff e rent models of TVs,
VCRs and cable boxes.
DigitalTheater 6000 Subwoofer
The DigitalTheater 6000 Subwoofer pro v i d e s
dramatic bass impact. It uses our long-excursion 61⁄2-inch bass driver in a dual-chamber
bandpass enclosure. This advanced design
uses a sealed chamber for precise driver cont rol and low distortion, and a vented chamber
to concentrate the output in the low bass
region. The result is a subwoofer that delivers
deep, clean bass from a compact enclosure.
DigitalTheater 6000 Satellites
The DigitalTheater 6000 system provides four
satellite speakers for the left and right front and
left and right rear channels. These speakers can
be mounted on the wall, using the supplied
wall-mounting brackets. Alternatively they can
be placed on a bookshelf or table-top using
the rubber feet pro v i d e d .

How to Place the Boston DigitalTheater 6000 System
in Your Room
Center Channel
Place the DigitalTheater 6000
center channel on top of the
video monitor or TV set. The
f ront of the speaker should
be flush with the front of the
t e l e v i s i o n .
S u b w o o f e r
The level of bass output from the
subwoofer will vary at diff e rent posi-
tions in the room. Corner placement
p rovides the most bass output, while
placement near only one wall pro v i d e s
somewhat less bass. Since low bass sounds are
o m n i d i rectional—the ear can’t tell from which
d i rection they’re coming—the subwoofer can
be located out of sight in the corner of the
room, yet all the sound, including the bass,
appears to come from the DigitalTheater
6 0 0 0 ’s front speakers.
F ront Satellite Speakers
The best location for the front speakers is
to either side of the video monitor or TV.
The speakers can be wall-mounted, or placed
on a bookshelf, with equally good re s u l t s .
Rear Satellite Speakers:
The best location for the rear speakers is to the
side and slightly behind the listeners. The
speakers can be wall-mounted facing out, as
shown. It may be easier to run wire to the
speakers if they are mounted near the flo o r,
facing up towards the ceiling. This position will
p roduce excellent surround results. Mounting
brackets for both options are included.

S o u rce Connection
Input Connections
DVD in: The the DigitalTheater 6000 may be
connected to the Dolby Digital output fro m
any DVD player.
Note: DigitalTheater 6000 cannot be connected to the AC-3 output from a laserdisc player
since a laserdisc is RF modulated.
To make the connection, use the black digital
input cable. Plug one end into the digital
output of the DVD player and the other into
the black digital terminal on the subwoofer
back panel.
DSS in: The DigitalTheater 6000 may be connected to the Dolby Digital output from any
DSS satellite television system that provides a
digital audio output. To make this connection,
use an optical digital cable (not included —
for more details, contact your dealer or
Boston Acoustics directly).
Plug one end into the digital output of the DSS
unit and the other into the black optical digital
t e rminal on the subwoofer back panel.
V C R and Audio in: The two stereo analog
inputs on the DigitalTheater 6000 may be connected to any stereo analog source. Ty p i c a l l y
this will be a stereo TV, hi-fiVCR, or CD player.
To make the connection, use the analog stere o
cable. Plug one end into the audio outputs of
the source unit and the other into the appro p r iate terminals on the subwoofer back panel.
Make sure the correct color plug is connected
to the correct color jack: red to red and white
to white.

n i g h t
When listening at low volumes, (late at night, for example), the quietest passages can be difficult to
hear and the loud passages are often too loud. The n i g h t mode reduces the system’s dynamic range
(the diff e rence between loudest and softest sounds) so the quiet parts of the program are clearly
audible even at low volume, while attenuating the loudest passages so others are n ’t disturbed.
NOTE: The n i g h tmode can only be used when Dolby Digital is active. Because it is software - d e p e n-

after the first two numbers are entered, and
twice after the last number is entered to signify it has accepted the programming. Example:
1 (blink), 2 (blink), 3 (blink-blink). A single long

remote blinks every time a button is pressed.
If not, be certain the batteries are corre c t l y

Button Reassignment to Control Diff e rent Devices
You might have two devices that would be cont rolled by the same button (a VCR and a DVD,
for example, each controlled by the V C Rb u tton, or a cable box and DSS, each contro l l e d
by the c a b l e button). In that case, you will have
to reassign one of the other buttons to contro l
that device.

Operating The DigitalTheater 6000 System
Initial Setup – Test To n e
B e f o re using the system, the relative speaker levels should be calibrated for optimum perf o rm a n c e .
This is easily accomplished by using the system’s built-in test tone to match the levels of the fro n t
and rear channels. The test tonebutton on the remote control generates the test tone for calibrat-
ing the speakers.
P ress test tone, and the test tone is heard
1
•
moving clockwise from speaker to speaker
at 2 second intervals. The order should be
left front, center, right front, right rear and
left re a r. (No test tone is heard from the
s u b w o o f e r. Adjust the subwoofer level independently of the other channels accord i n g
to personal taste or to compensate for the
e ffects of room placement). If the tone does
not move continuously from speaker to
speaker then one or more speakers is not
connected to the correct output on the subw o o f e r.
6•3
•
As the test tone rotates around the speakers,
you may notice that some speakers are louder
or softer than others. This is not due to any
defect, but to the diff e rence in room acoustics
at diff e rent locations. The speaker levels
should be individually adjusted so they all
appear to have the same loudness at the listening position.
