near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;
or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.
16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.
20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this
indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Cautions on Handling
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
•
Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before
moving the unit.
•
Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the
actual unit for explanation purposes.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem of large variations
in volume level between television programs, commercials, and
between the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that
as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived
bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog
clarity remain the same.
b About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human
perception and room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in
tandem with Audyssey MultEQ® to provide well-balanced sound
for every listener at any volume level.

Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels
and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers
being connected to the AVR-789, and be sure to
Center speakerSubwoofer
interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm

of sheathing from the tip of
the speaker cable, then either
twist the core wire tightly or
terminate it.
Turn the speaker terminal
2
counterclockwise to loosen
it.
Insert the speaker cable’s
3
core wire to the hilt into the
speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal
4
clockwise to tighten it.
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the
screws etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the
protection circuit will be activated and the power
indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker
output is isolated, and the power supply goes to
the standby state. If the power supply is turned
off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn,
please confirm that speaker cable and input cable
are connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using
a speaker having an impedance less than that
specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will
rise, and the protection circuit might be activated.
The power supply will go into the standby state,
and the power indicator will flash red at 2 second
intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply,
and wait until the AVR-789 has cooled down, and
the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and connections, in the event of
the protection circuit becoming activated, due to
thinking that the AVR-789 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

NOTE
For surround back speakers :
• Since “Amp Assign” of AVR-789 is set to “ZONE2” by default, audio is not output from the surround
back speakers. When using the surround back speakers with MAIN ZONE, change the “Amp Assign”
setting to “7.1ch” (vpage 31).
• When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).
For ZONE2 speakers :
• For multi-zone connection and operation, see “Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and Operations”
(vpage 65 ~ 68).
Surround back

Connect when using
7.1-channel.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16
Ω/ohms. When using front A and B speakers
simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance
of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that
they do not stick out of the speaker terminals.
The protection circuit may be activated if the core
wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides
touch each other (v “Protection circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the
power supply is connected. Doing so could result
in electric shock.

Monitor
NOTE
• The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted
by the connected device.
• Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.
• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this
case, switch the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is
compatible.
• If the menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI Audio Out” setting (vpage 28) is set to
“AMP”, the sound may be interrupted when the monitor’s power is turned off.
• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI
connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• If the monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep color signal transfer
is not possible.
• If the monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not
possible.
• If the monitor does not support “Auto Lipsync Correction” function, this function will not work.
• The AVR-789 is compatible with the HDMI’s CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function. Please note
the following.
• It may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its setup.
• It does not operate with televisions or players that are not compatible with HDMI’s CEC.
• When the AVR-789 and Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect
the AVR-789 and monitor using an HDMI cable.
• If the connected monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI
converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.
• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.
b The AVR-789 is equipped for HDMI version

When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)
• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.
When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an
HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video
signals will not be output.
• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly
due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.
Copyright protection system (HDCP)
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a Blu-ray, DVD- Video or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/
DVI connections, both the connected Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player and monitor must be equipped for
a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of the
devices.
The AVR-789 is HDCP-compatible. For details on the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player or monitor you are
using, refer to its operating instructions.

Preparations
• Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems
in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for
your home theater.
• Audyssey MultEQ optimizes a large listening area where one or
more listeners are seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A409) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly
recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements
have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 25 ~ 27.
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.

Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand
with the microphone pointing directly up towards the
ceiling.
b Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements.
Be sure that the path from microphone to the speakers is not
blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat
back or wall as sound refl ections may give inaccurate results.

About the Auto Setup
The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence of
each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel
level, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. Audyssey
MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.

Step 5: Store
NOTE
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic
speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fl uorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).
• Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel
the measurements.
Auto Setup
Optimize settings for speakers in use.
Step 1 : Speaker Detection
NOTE
Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after
“Step 1”.
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rst
measurement position (main listening position). The following
attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker
Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”.
q Select “Start 0”, then press o.
• Starts measuring the main listening position.
w Select “Next 0”, then press o.
• If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements
again (vpage 24).
• If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error
message appears, use i to on-screen display “Retry 0” and then
press o to repeat the measurement.
• If the result still differs from the actual connection status after
re-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possible
that the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-789
off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurement
process from the beginning.

positions.
• Select “Calculate 0”, and press o to proceed to Step 3.
After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.
Measure at 6 positions: the main listening position and 5 other
surrounding positions. Although it is allowable to measure less than 6
positions, it is recommended to measure 6 for best results.
Step 3 : Calculation
The values obtained from the measurements are automatically
analyzed and the attributes for each of the speakers in the listening
area are determined.
q Select “Calculate 0” at Step 2, then press o.
• Analysis begins.
• Analysis takes several minutes to complete.
• The time required for this analysis depends on the number of
speakers connected. The greater the number of speakers connected,
the longer analysis will take.
NOTE
• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume,
or speaker locations after making measurements. If changes are
necessary, make the changes and use the Audyssey MultEQ auto
setup once again for an updated EQ solution.
• For instance, if the location or direction of a speaker is altered, the
Auto Setup should be performed again to ensure the correct EQ
solution for the new room confi guration.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in
volume level between television programs, commercials, and between
the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as
the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity
remain the same.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human
perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct
frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at
any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response,
tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant
despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information
from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the
room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to
provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem of large variations
in volume level between television programs, commercials, and
between the soft and loud passages of movies.
Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and
then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived
by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed.
Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid
or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume
level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is
integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is
adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance,
surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether
watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing
from stereo to surround sound content.
: High setting affects volume the most, causing all sounds
to be of equal loudness.
: Middle setting prevents loud and soft sounds from
being much louder and softer respectively than average
sounds.
: Low setting provides the least adjustments to the
loudest and softest of sounds.

About the RESTORER function
• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating
signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The
Specifications
RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon
compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the
original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of
volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio
signals.
• This is displayed on the menu and can be set when the input source
is selected to “XM”, or analog signals (including FM/AM and SIRIUS
signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.
NOTE
• When the “Dynamic EQ” setting is “ON”, setting is not possible.
• When a HD-Audio (DOLBY DIGITAL Plus, DOLBY TrueHD, DTS-HD)
signal is input, the “Night Mode” can not be selected.
• This cannot be adjusted when playing in the EXT. IN, DIRECT or
STEREO mode (with “Front Speaker” set to “Large”, “Tone
Control” to “OFF” and “MultEQ”, “RESTORER” and “Night Mode”
to “OFF”.)
• When the Auto Lipsync Correction function is operating, you can set
within the range 0 ~ 100 ms.
• Store “Audio Delay” for each input source.

About Speaker Installation
Surround back speakers
Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding
a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system.
In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and
the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the
surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and
from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Specifications
Number of surround back speakers
We recommend using 2 speakers.
When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use 2 speakers.
Placement of the surround left and right channels
when using surround back speakers
We recommend installing the speakers for the surround “L” and “R”
channels a bit forward.
Examples of speaker layouts
Below we introduce examples of speaker layouts. Refer to these to
arrange your speakers according to their type and how you want to
use them.

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse
radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide
a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating
speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the
prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

The AVR-789 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that
lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the
same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and
“C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing
movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is
compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It
is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions
of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96
kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly
prioritizing sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to
create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro
Logic g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format proposed by Dolby
Laboratories that allows users to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY
DIGITAL SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by Dolby
Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back channels, provide
improved sound positioning and expression of space.

HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface standard for next generation TVs based
on DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standards and optimized for use in
consumer equipment.
Non-compressed digital video and multi-channel audio signals are
transmitted with a single connection.
HDMI is also compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a technology for protecting copyrights that encrypts digital
video signals in the same was as with DVI.
Deep Color
Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and
subtle gradations between colors.
Enables increased contrast ratio.
Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and
white.
At 30-bit pixel depth, a four times improvement would be the minimum,
and the typical improvement would be eight times or more.
xvYCC
Next-generation “xvYCC” color space supports 1.8 times as many
colors as existing HDTV signals.
Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately.
Enables displays with natural, vivid colors.
LipSync
Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly
complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of
the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has
become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex enduser adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio
synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization
automatically with total accuracy.

TRIGGER OUT
The MCS 100 satellites and center channel are easily placed on a tabletop or wall-mounted. The
speakers are congured for tabletop use when you rst unpack the system. The foot installed on
the rear of the speaker will keep it upright.
The MCS 100 satellites and center channel are designed to easily mount on the wall using the
keyhole slot(s) on the back of the speaker. When mounting the speakers to the wall use the supplied
rubber bumpers. You must remove the attached foot to wall-mount your speakers. Remove the
thumbscrew from the back of the foot. It is slotted for easy removal with a screwdriver or a coin.
The keyhole mounting option is similar to hanging a picture frame on a wall. Install a #8 screw (not
included) into the sheetrock, making sure to go into a stud, and hang the speaker onto the screw head.
If a stud is not available, a sheetrock anchor should be used to support the weight of the speaker. It is
advisable to connect the speaker wire prior to wall-mounting.
NOTE: Because there are so many dierent kinds of surfaces on which the speakers could be mounted. There is no one
type of fastener that we could supply that would work in all the possible situations. So taking into account the surface the
speaker is being mounted on, acquire the appropriate type of fasteners. If you’re not sure what type of fastener to use, take
the mounting bracket to a friendly hardware store, tell them about the wall you’re mounting the speaker on, and ask them
to recommend an appropriate fastener. Keep in mind the weight of the speaker.
Speaker Connections
After your speakers are properly placed, you are ready
to wire your system. First, turn o all system power.
Use the speaker wire included with the system to
make your connections. For longer distances, #16 or
#18 gauge wire available from your dealer should be
used. Please see the illustration for guidance connecting the wires to the MCS 100 satellites and center
channel.
For connection to your receiver please refer to its
owner’s manual.
Important!
To ensure the best performance observe polarities when making speaker connections, as shown in the illustration. Connect each + terminal on the back of the
amplier or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect the
– (black) terminals in the same way. If the connections are not made correctly it can
cause poor bass response and imaging. Also, to avoid short circuits that may damage
your equipment be careful not to let any of the bare wires touch each other.
Subwoofer Connections
Turn o all power. Use the subwoofer cable included with your
system to connect the subwoofer to your receivers Subwoofer or
LFE Output. Connect the other end to the “Line In” on the back of
the Subwoofer.

Subwoofer Controls
Power On
Plug the subwoofer’s AC cord into a wall outlet. We do not recommend using use the
outlets on the back of the receiver. The subwoofer features auto on/standby. An LED
indicator next to the volume control indicates what mode the subwoofer is in.
RED = STANDBY (No signal detected, Amp O )
GREEN = ON (Signal detected, Amp On)
The subwoofer will automatically enter the Standby mode after several minutes when no signal is detected from your system.
The subwoofer will then power ON instantly when a signal is detected.
LED indicator
Volume Control
Begin by adjusting the Subwoofer Volume Control to the 11 o’clock position. Further adjust the Subwoofer Volume Control
until you hear a match in volume between the main speakers and subwoofer. Ideally, bass response should not overpower
the room but rather be adjusted so there is a natural blend across the entire musical range.
Operation
When using the MCS 100 in a Dolby® Digital or DTS™ home theater system, make sure all speakers are set to “Small”. When
using the system in a Dolby Pro Logic® home theater system, make sure the receiver’s center channel mode is set to “Normal.”
Some Dolby Digital equipped receivers/processors oer dierent setup options for each source or surround mode (e.g., CDstereo, videotape, Dolby Digital, Pro Logic®). In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that the subwoofer
output is turned on and that the speakers are set to “Small” in each mode.
If your receiver has adjustable crossover settings, we recommend the subwoofer crossover be set at 150Hz.
Refer to the owner’s manual for your AV receiver for any additional recommendations on system operation.
Maintenance and Service
The satellite and subwoofer enclosures may be cleaned using a soft cloth to remove ngerprints or to wipe o dust. All wiring
connections should be inspected and cleaned or remade at least once a year.
If a problem does occur, make sure that all connections are properly made, secure and clean. If a problem occurs in one loudspeaker, rewire that speaker in a dierent location within the system. Should the problem persist in this speaker the problem
is within the speaker. If the speaker sounds ne in the new position it is a strong indication of a more in depth issue with the
electronics in the system. In the event that your MCS 100 ever needs service, contact your local Boston Acoustics dealer or
visit www.Bostona.com for a list of dealers in your area.
If your subwoofer does not play, check that all the connectors on the cables are making proper contact and that the AC plug
is connected to a “live” receptacle.
