(HTB-505 Quick-Connect Guide on other side)
Congratulations!
The HTB 405 Home Theatre System will make watching
movies at home more fun than ever. To corlnect your speak-
ers to the receiver follow the instructions on this sheet. To
learn how to operate your recewer please read and follow the
instruction manual included in the receiver's box. If you're
also connecting other equipment, such as a TV, VCR, DVD
player, CD player or other source component, use the receiv-
er's manual in combination with the manuals that came with
those components.
Placing Your Speakers
Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below. While
you're setting the speakers up, keep these points in mind:
• If the subwoofer causes discoloration of the TV picture,
move it away from the TV until the discoloration disap
pears.
• Since the center speaker is magnetically shielded, you
can place it right on top of the TV without worrying about
picture discoloration.
• You can hang the speakers on the wall using heavy duty
picture hangers.
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall yields more deep
bass output than placing ft away from a wall. Placing the
subwoofer in a corner yields the deepest bass output
overall

Balancing the Speakers
Your receiver comes with the speaker volume setthlgs pro-
balanced. If you have positioned the speakers as shown in
the diagram your system will create a spacious surround
sound environment right out of the box with no further
adjustment required.
If your room is arranged differently than shown in the dia-

mance, you can easily change the volumes of the indlvidual
speakers to get a better balance:
1. Press the SETUPbutton 8 Rmes. The dlsplay will read
"AUTO".
2. Rock the MULTICONTROLjoystick forward once. The display
will change to "MANUAU'.
3. Press the SETUPbutton repeatedly until the speaker you
want to adjust appears on the display. You will hear test
noise through the speaker.
4. Rock the MULT_CONTROLjoystick forward to increase the
speaker's volume, rock it backward to decrease the
speaker's volume.
5. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on
the display while youYe adjusting the speakers this is for
reference purposes only. However, once you have bal
anced all the speakers you should write each speaker's
voluf_e setting down here for reference:

labeled the terminals on the receiver, and pre-stdpped the
insulation from the ends of the wire. DO NOT PUSH THE
WIRE TOO FAR INTO THE SPEAKER TERMINALS AS THIS WILL

Standby when you're not using it and turn it On again when you use your
system. (When the subwoofer is On the indicator on its rear panel glows
green. When it is in Standby the indicator glows red.) If you will not be
using your system for an extended period of time we recommend that
you turn the subwoofer's power switch Off.
Crossover Filter Switch
Since your system's receiver has a buitbin crossover (circuitry that sepa
rates the bass from the rest of the sound) on its subwoofer output, set
the subwoofer's Crossover Filter Switch to Off.
Volume Control
Initially. set the subwoofer's volume knob to the 11 o'clock position.
During normal operation you wifl use the receiver's subwoofer volume
control to adjust the subwoofer volume. (This is much more convenient
than having to reach behind the subwoofer to turn its volume knob every
time you want to adjust its volume.) If the receiver's subwoofer volume
control won't go loud or soft enough, re adjust the subwoofer's volume
knob to compensate. See the receiver's instruction manual for details on
using the receiver's subwoofer volume control.
Balancing the Speakers
Your receiver comes with the speaker volume settings pre balanced. If
you have positioned the speakers as shown in the diagram your system
will create a spacious surround sound environment right out of the box
with no further adjustment required.
If your room is arranged differently than shown in the diagram, or if you
simply want to fine tune your system's performance, you can easily
change the volumes of the individual speakers to get a better balance:
1. Press the SETUPbutton 8 times. The display will read to "AUTO".
2. Rock the MULTICONTROLjoystick forward once. The display will change
to "MANUAL:'.
3. Press the SETUPbutton repeatedly until the speaker you want to adjust
appears on the display. You will hear test noise through the speaker.
4. Rock the Muc'nCONTROLjoystick forward to increase the speaker's vol
ume. rock it backward to decrease the speaker's volume.
5. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout on the display
while you're adjusting the speakers this is for reference purposes
only. However, once you have balanced all the speakers you should
write each speaker's volume setting down here for reference:
