Kenwood HTB-805DV User Manual

Congratulations!

The HTB-805DV Holne Theatre System will make watching movies at home more fun than ever. To connect your speakers to the recewer follow the mstrwt~ons on this sheet. To learn how to operate your receiver 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 receiver’s man-

ual in combination wth the manuals that came with those

components.

Place the speakers as shown m the diagram below. While

you’re settingthe 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 disappears.

* Since the center speaker IS magnetically shielded, you can

place it right on top of the TV without wori’y~ng about picture discoloration.

* You can hangthe speakers on the wall using heavy-duty

picture hangers.

* Placing the subwoofer next to a wall yields more deep bass

output than placing It away from a waii. Placing the subwoofer in a comer yields the deepest bass output overall.

Connecting Your Speakers

Important: Do not plug the receiver’s power cord into AC outlets until yo” have

properly

connected all of the speakers.

Conn&t the speakers as shown in the main diagram.

In each case, connect the colored speaker wire to correspondmg terminals on the speaker and receiver.

To make connecting the speakers eas~ei, we have color-coded the speaker wire and the terrrxnals on the speakers, labeled the terminals on the receiver, and pestripped the

inSulStiOn

from the ends of the wire. DO NOT PUSH THE WIRE TOO FAR

INTO THE SPEAKER TERMINALS AS THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE WIRETO MAKE PROPER CONTACT

The subwoofer connects to the rexaver using the audio cable:

- Connect one end of the audio cable to the input connector on the subwoofer labeled L/MONO, and connect the other end to the connector on the recewer labeled SUB WOOFER PRE o”i.

Using Your Subwoofer

Your SW-36HT subwoofer has features that make It easy to set

up and rise:

to Power On/Off

After you turn the subwoofer’s POWER switch On for the first

Standby when you’re not using It and turn @t On again when you use your system. (When the subwoofer is On the ,ndicator 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 lmx we recommend that

you turn the subwoofer’s POWER switch Off. Crossover Filter Switch

Since your system’s receiver has a built-in 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 wili use the receiver’s subwoofer volume control to adjust the subwoofer volume. (This is much more convenient than hawng to reach beh,nd the subwoofer to turn Its “oiume knob every time you want to ad,ust Its volume.) If the recelvel’s subwoofer volume control won’t go loud oi soft enough, re-adjust the subwoofer’s volume

knob to compensate. See the receiver’s lnstiuction manual for details on

using the rece~ver’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 systeln will create a spacious surround sound environment right out of the box

wth 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 lndlvlduai speakers to get a better balance:

1, Press the SETUP button 8 times. The display WIII read to “AUTO”.

2. Rock the MULT, colvrnoi,oyst,ck forward once. The display w,ll change to “MANUAY.

3. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the speaker you want to adjust appears on the display. You WIII hear test noise through the speaker.

4, Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward to increase the speaker’s vol-

ume, rock it backward to decrease the speaker’s volume.

5. Do not be concerned wuth the volume level readout on the display while you’re adjustmg the speakers-this is for reference purposes

only. Hwe”er, once you have balanced all the speakers you should write each speaker’s volume setting down here for reference:

6. Press the SETUP butto” on the remote 5 times to exit the setup mode.

Setting the Speaker Distances

This last step adlusts the tmxng of ali the speakers so that their sound arrives at the listening location at the proper time.

1. Measure the distance from each speaker to your seat. Write the distances

down.

2. Press the SETUP button on the remote 11 times. The display will read

“IOFT 3.OM”, and the left and right speaker 10x1s will flash.

3. Rock the rviu~ii CoNmoLJoystick forward or backward until the dlspiay

matches the distance from your left and right speakers to your listening position.

4. Press the SETUP button again and repeat step 3 for the center speak-

er, and agal” for the surround speakers.

5. When you’ve finlshed setting the speaker distances, press the SETUP button 2 times to exit the setup mode.
