TELEVISION

Front speakers typically sound best

SUB

RL

when their tweeters are at approxi­mately ear height for seated listeners.
If this isn’t possible, it is sometimes
benefi cial to tilt the speaker down or
up slightly so that it is aimed into the
listening area.

If possible, position the speakers the same distance apart as they are
from the listening position.

If you are putting speakers in a cabinet, on a rack or a table, try to
bring them out far enough so that they are at least fl ush with the
cabinet’s front edge.

When practical, arrange each speaker so that it is at somewhat
different distances from the fl oor, the wall behind it, and the wall
beside it. It can also help to have the left and right front speakers
at different distances from their nearest side walls. This staggering
helps smooth the bass range.

Each speaker can be set on its bottom or side. If you set them on the
side and want to turn the Klipsch logo, carefully pull the logo forward,
turn and release it.

Satellites should be positioned so that no obstruction is within 1½”-2” of
the rear port. Blocking the port could result in diminished sound quality

The subwoofer’s output will increase as it is moved closer to walls,
with maximum output when it is placed in a corner. If practical,

al

ways place the subwoofer near a wall. Additionally, a subwoofer will
deliver the smoothest bass response when placed near a wall away
from openings, such as doors.

Maintain a distance of at least three (3 ) feet between the subwoofer and
a CRT (tube) television so as to avoid interference with your television

Naturally, there are exceptions to the rules, since no two rooms or
systems are exactly alike. Experiment with positioning to get the
best sound.

SUB

The back of your Klipsch System has jacks for the AM and FM antennas that
were packed with your system. Unwind the wires for each antenna to provide
the best reception. An outdoor antenna may be used in place of the supplied

indoor antennas. To add an outdoor antenna, consult a qualified installer.
Follow all safety instructions supplied with the antenna.

FM Antenna

Plug the FM antenna into the Klipsch system’s FM (75Ω) jack in the section
labeled

ANT.

On the back of your Klipsch system spread out the antenna
arms and move them around to establish optimum FM reception. Extend the
antenna as much as possible.

Some cable TV providers make FM radio signals available through the cable
s

ervice to your home. This connection is made to the external FM jack on
the back of the Klipsch system. To connect to this service, contact your
cable TV provider for assistance.

Make sure that the cable radio installation includes a TV/FM splitter so that
only the FM radio band, not the cable TV band, is received by the Klipsch
system. If necessary, contact your cable company.

AM Antenna

Plug the AM loop antenna into the
on the back of your Klipsch system. Place the antenna loop at least 20 inches

Appendix I - Connection Overview

Understanding the basics of how Input and Output jacks work will assist you in connecting components to your Klipsch system.

Input jacks are connected to peripheral components

Your cable box, satellite box, or HD receiver box would connect to your Klipsch system’s input jacks to bring the signal INTO the Klipsch system so you can control everything (sound and picture)
from the Klipsch system.

Output jacks send the signal OUT from your Klipsch system to the TV (for video) and to the speaker system (for audio)

For instance, in order to see the DVD movie you’re playing in your Klipsch system, you must connect cables to the TV so you can see the picture on the TV screen. Therefore, you connect a
cable to the output jack on the Klipsch system (sending the DVD signal OUT to the TV) and connect the other end of that cable to the matching input jack(s) on the TV.

Video Connection Options

COMPONENT Video is considered excellent
video quality because the video is separated
into three parts
Y = Luminence (black & white part of signal)

B= Chrominance (color) minus blue

P
PR = Chrominance minus red

S-VIDEO (separate video) provides very good
video quality. Even though there is only one
cable, the chrominance and luminance are kept
separate from the main signal.
