WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

First off,you have great taste in loudspeakers. At Cerwin-Vega,deep bass and

great highs are a way of life.

Nice to know there are a few people out there who share our passion for
music. And we consider you to be the newest member of the family. We hope your

sure you familiarize yourself with this warranty. We like to think that while you’re
sitting in front of your speakers,we’re standing behind them.And now a few
choice words from our lawyer. (Hey,every family has one.)

WHO’S COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY?

If a defect exists within the warranty period,the warranty will not expire until the defect
has been fixed. The warranty period will also be extended if the warranty repairs have not
been performed due to delays caused by circumstances beyond the control of the original
purchaser,or if the warranty repairs did not remedy the defect and the original purchaser
notifies Cerwin-Vega or the original dealer or an Authorized Cerwin-Vega Service Center of
the failure of the repairs within 30 days after they were completed.

ENGLISH

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Carefully unpack your speaker,saving the box and all of the packing material;at
some point you may need to transport,ship,or move your speaker. Before continuing
with the installation,please make sure your A/V receiver,processor, preamplifier,or
amplifier’s power switch is turned “OFF.”

INSTALLATION

Please read the following to determine which installation procedure is best for your
audio/video system. For additional hook-up connections,you may want to refer to
your A/V receiver,processor,preamplifier,or amplifier’s manual.

NOTE: Be sure
to read and observe the “Safety Instructions” on preceding page before starting the
installation.

CONNECTIONS

As mentioned earlier,all connections should be made with the equipment turned off.
Use high quality speaker wire (16-gauge or heavier) to connect your speakers to your
A/V receiver,processor, preamplifier,or amplifier. Connect the positive terminal on the
speaker (marked "+" and colored red) to the positive terminal on the A/V receiver,
processor, preamplifier,or amplifier and connect the negative terminal on the speaker
(marked "-" and colored black) to the negative terminal on the A/V receiver,processor,
preamplifier,or amplifier. In any case,make sure that the wiring polarity remains
consistent throughout the system in order to maintain correct polarity (see figure 1).
Failure to observe correct polarity will result in poor sound balance,decreased imaging,
and worst of all,decreased bass response. Refer to the owner’s manual provided by

your receiver/preamp/processor manufacturer.

PLACEMENT (VE-5M BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS)

For left and right channels,place the speakers so that the tweeters are at ear
level (i.e.,normal seated position) and are on either side of the video receiver or
monitor (see Figure 2). You can place the speakers on bookshelves or use
speaker stands,which are readily available from your local home audio retailer.
For use as a rear channel surround speaker,avoid corners of the room and
experiment with different locations until you find a pleasing effect.

Refer to the
owner’s manual provided by your receiver/ preamp/processor manufacturer for
speaker placement when using different surround effects (i.e., Dolby Digital, DTS).

PLACEMENT (VE-5C CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKERS)

Ideally,the Center Channel Speaker should be in the middle between the

front left and right main speakers and face toward the viewing area (see Figure

2). The tweeter should be at ear level (i.e.,normal seated position). If possible,
position the speaker and (left/right) bookshelf speakers to form a straight line.

PLACEMENT (VE-8, VE-12, VE-15 FLOOR-STANDING

SPEAKERS)

Use figure 2 as an initial guide for speaker placement,keeping in mind that most
rooms are far from ideal and different speaker locations produce different sounds. If the
bass is too prominent,try moving the speakers away from the walls. If you need more
bass,move the speakers closer to the rear walls. Keep the speakers about 1 1/2 feet (45
cm) away from the sidewalls and 1 foot (30 cm) out from the rear wall and about 6 feet
(2 meters) from each other.

ROOM ACOUSTICS

A room’s size, shape, and furnishings will greatly influence the overall sound of
an Audio/Video Sound System. However, you can optimize the sound potential of
your A/V system in the following ways:

• Keep the path from the speakers to the viewing area free from obstructions
(e.g.,furniture,potted plants,etc.).

• If the room is ”live”(e.g.,plaster walls,wood floors,glass windows,etc.) and
produces echoes,try closing the drapes,adding a throw rug,or consider
using sound-absorbing panels.

• Cerwin-Vega Audio/Video systems can produce intense low frequencies,so
don’t be surprised to initially hear rattles and buzzes coming from
furniture and other objects;try repositioning or removing offending
suspects (e.g.,vase on mantle) or placing felt pads under vibrating
items.

POLARITY

Caution! This product is designed for specific placement. Do not suspend,
hang or wall mount an VE-5M or VE-5C with any brackets, cables, chains
or hooks. Place these components only on bookshelves, appropriate stands,
or on top of a television/monitor.

The VE-8, VE-12, and VE-15 speakers are intended for floor placement
only! Do not place heavy objects of any type, such as televisions on top of
any Cerwin-Vega speaker unless otherwise recommended by Cerwin-Vega!
VE Series speakers are for residential applications only.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Carefully unpack your subwoofer,saving the box and all of the packing material; at
some point you may need to transport,ship,or move your subwoofer. Before
continuing with the installation,please make sure the subwoofer is unplugged and
the power switch is turned “OFF.”

WARNING: Severe damage may result from

improperly selected voltage. Set voltage selection switch, to the proper AC voltage.

INSTALLATION

Please read the following to determine which installation procedure is best for your
audio/video system. For additional hook-up connections,you may want to refer to
your A/V receiver,processor,preamplifier,or amplifier’s manual.

NOTE: Be sure to read

and observe the “Safety Instructions” on pr eceding page before starting the installation.

CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS

The following controls are located on the subwoofer’s rear panel, as shown (back cover).

Attention! The Cerwin-Vega VE-28S have LFE, LINE-LEVEL, and SPEAKER­LEVEL input connections; choose one option only for hook-up. Do not hook up
more than one option!

LFE INPUT: Mono “low frequency effects”connection. Use this input if

receiver/preamp/processor has a dedicated LFE or subwoofer OUT. Refer to

the owner’s manual provided by your receiver/preamp/processor manufacturer.

(see figure 1, back cover for hook-up)

LINE-LEVEL INPUT: Stereo low level input to subwoofer. Connect to “LINE-OUT”,

“MAIN-OUT or PREAMP-OUT”,of your receiver/preamp/processor using a dual RCA

patchcord (not supplied). Refer to the owner’s manual provided by your receiver/

preamp/processor manufacturer. (see figure 2, back cover for hook-up)

SPEAKER-LEVEL INPUT: Stereo high-level inputs to subwoofer. Use these terminals

when line-level connections are not available from A/V receiver/preamp/processor.

Connect to SPEAKER outputs on receiver using high quality speaker wire (16-gauge

or heavier). (see figure 3, back cover for hook-up)

SPEAKER-LEVEL OUTPUT: Audio loop of stereo high-level (SPEAKER-LEVEL)

inputs . Use to loop (continue) signal to speaker connections to the left

and right main speakers.

VOLUME CONTROL: Controls volume level of subwoofer. Use to balance the output

of the subwoofer with the main speaker output.

CROSSOVER FREQUENCY: The crossover control allows you to adjust the upper

limit of the subwoofer’s frequency response from 40 to 120 Hz. The subwoofer’s

response will begin rolling off above the set frequency. Set the CROSSOVER FRE-

QUENCY to the lower value listed in the main speaker manual.* (Note: Crossover

control does not function when LFE input is used.)

PHASE: This switch allows you to compensate for having the subwoofer

in a different location than the main speakers. This control allows the signal to be

delayed 180 degrees so the output of the subwoofer will blend in with the

main speakers. Slide the PHASE switch to “180”. At the listening position, listen to

the midbass output. If it sounds weak,set PHASE back to “0.”

POWER LED: Power indicator lamp. Glows green in “ON”mode if audio signal is

present. Glows red in both “OFF”mode and “ON ”mode if receiving AC power,

and if audio signal is not present after approximately 30 minutes.

NOTES

POWER: Two-position power switch. In the “ON”mode, the subwoofer’s

amplifier is automatically activated if an audio signal is present and will automatically
become inactive when there is no audio signal present after approximately 30
minutes. In the “OFF” mode, power is shut off to the amplifier.

VOLTAGE SELECTION: User-switchable voltage selection for use with 110-120V/
220-240V AC.

Attention: All subwoofer models come from the factory preset to

110-120 volts.

To select a different voltage,use a flat head screwdriver to reposition

the switch to the desired voltage.

WARNING: Severe damage may result from
improperly selected voltage. Make sure you know the voltage requirement of
the country you are in before attempting to connect this subwoofer to AC
power.

POWER CORD RECEPTACLE: Connect IEC cord to this receptacle (supplied
with the VE subwoofer). If the cord supplied does not fit an available AC outlet,
purchase the correct AC cord from your audio dealer or an electrical supply store.

REPLACEABLE FUSE: Protects system from overload,replace with fuse rating as
indicated on amplifier panel at fuse location. The fuse holder is located at the AC
receptacle. Gently pry open to access the fuse.

PLACEMENT

Y our VE Series powered subwoofer produces low frequencies which are omnidirectional.

As a result,placement requirements for your subwoofer are flexible and subject to your
listening room’s acoustic characteristics. To determine the best position for your
subwoofer,start by positioning it along the same wall,or plane,as your main speakers.
Experiment with various locations until you find the location that sounds best to you.

Note: Typically, your powered subwoofer will sound louder when placed in close
proximity to walls or corners.

Caution! Cerwin-Vega VE-28S speakers are intended for FLOOR

PLACEMENT ONLY! Do not place heavy objects of any type, such as televisions on
top of any Cerwin-Vega speaker unless otherwise recommended by Cerwin-Vega!
VE Series speakers are for residential applications only.
