0–2 ft.

The HLS Center is designed to complement any of the HLS Series loudspeakers.

It is the ideal way to re-create the cinematic experience in your home.

All of the HLS Series loudspeakers are video shielded and can safely be placed near a television.

two. Speaker Connections

Connection Tips

Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and

(–) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (–) on the speaker to (–) on the amplifier. Wiring “out of phase” results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image.

Troubleshooting

If there is no sound from any of the speakers, check the following:

•Receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing.

•Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker, check the following:

•Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/amplifier.

•Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers.

•Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased, check the following:

•Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers.

•Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

•If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is low bass output, check the following:

• Make sure the polarities (+ and –) of the left and right “Speaker Inputs” are connected properly.

If there is no sound from the center speaker, check the following:

•Make sure that your receiver’s Center Channel Mode is in the ”normal“ or ”wide“ position.

If it is in the ”phantom“ position, the center speaker will not play.

•Check all connections between processor/amplifier and the center speaker.

Occasional refinements may be made to existing products without notice but will always meet or exceed original specifications unless otherwise stated. *The maximum recommended amplifier power rating will ensure proper system headroom to allow for occasional peaks.

We do not recommend sustained operation at these maximum power levels.
