1.After you uncoil the speaker cable, connect one speaker to the RIGHT (Red) connector on the back of your Klipsch system. This speaker will be to your left when you are behind the system connecting, but it will be on the right when you are facing the system. You can connect either speaker to the LEFT or the RIGHT OUTPUT, you just need to place them properly.

2.Connect the other speaker to the LEFT (White) OUTPUT on the back of the Klipsch system. The speaker connected to the LEFT OUTPUT will be to your right when you are behind the system connecting, but it will be on the left when you are facing the system.

3.Rubber pads have been included in the Accessory box. These self adhesive pads can be applied to the bottom of the speakers.

4.The CS-700 wirelessly transmits the subwoofer signal from the A/V Center to the subwoofer. (If you wish to connect the subwoofer with a standard RCA cable, simply connect one end of the cable to the black “LFE” OUTPUT on the rear of the A/V Center and the other end to the “LFE” INPUT on the rear of the subwoofer. Cable not included.)

5.Plug the power cord into the subwoofer and an AC outlet and turn the subwoofer 65.

6.For best results, the antenna on the rear of the CS-700 A/V Center should be pointed up.

Speaker Setup Considerations

•Front speakers typically sound best when their tweeters are at approximately ear height for seated listeners. If this isn’t possible, it is sometimes beneﬁcial 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.

•Speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.

•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 ﬂush with the cabinet’s front edge.

•When practical, arrange each speaker so that it is at somewhat different distances from the ﬂoor, 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.

•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, always 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.

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

Input and Output Jacks

Please see appendix I (page 28) for the basics on how input and output jacks work with your Klipsch system.

STEP 7: Connect AM and FM Antennas (supplied)

(4.5+

CONNECTIONS page 7/8

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 (5; 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 service 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 AM GND jack in the section labeled (5; on the back of your Klipsch system. Place the antenna loop at least 20 inches (50 centimeters) away from your Klipsch system. To get optimum reception, you may need to experiment with the positioning of the loop antenna.

STEP 8: Turn on the TV and the Klipsch System

1.Plug in the Klipsch system’s power cord to an AC power outlet.

2.Turn on the Klipsch system (press the 65 6-- button on the front panel or on the remote control). You can also press +0:* on the

remote.

3.Turn on the TV and tune to the correct video input channel. This is the channel that corresponds to the input jack you used on the back of the TV to connect the Klipsch system. The name and how you access this video input channel varies for different TVs.

Generally, you will press a button on the TV’s remote control, such as :6<9*, or 057<; or =0+. See below if you can’t ﬁnd the

correct input channel on your TV.

Set TV to the Right Channel

If you do not see a picture on your TV, check your TV's owner manual to see how you tune the TV to the correct channel. It won't be "Channel 3" but it's the same idea. You'll need to tune the TV to the "channel" that matches the input jacks on the TV you used to connect to the Klipsch system's output jacks (either COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, or COMPOSITE—which is regular VIDEO and color-coded yellow). Below are some ideas to try if you can't find the answer in the TV manual.

STEP 9: Complete the On-screen Setup

1. Press MENU on your Klipsch system remote control (the main menu appears).

2.Press arrow down Ç to highlight Setup and press ENTER (the Setup menu items appear).

Match the on-screen option with the cables that are connected to each of the jacks on your Klipsch system. This information tells the system what is connected to it, and which cables and jacks were used.

3.TV Audio Connection: If you made a TV Audio connection, use the arrow button to select where you connected the TV’s AUDIO OUTPUT to the Klipsch system’s AUDIO INPUT. Use the Å or Ç arrow button to highlight the correct option and press ENTER.

SAT/CABLE/HD: Choose this option if you connected audio from the TV to one of the three AUDIO INPUT options in the SAT/CABLE/HD INPUT section on the back of the Klipsch system.

AUX 1: Choose this option if you connected audio from the TV to one of the audio options in the AUX 1 INPUT section on the back of the Klipsch system.

AUX 2: Choose this option if you connected the TV’s audio to one of the

AUX 2 INPUT audio options on the side of the Klipsch system.

No Audio Connection: Choose this option if you didn’t connect the audio from the TV to the Klipsch system. You’ll only hear audio from the Klipsch system when you’re playing the radio or a disc, or through one of the components connected to the Klipsch System (e.g., VCR, DVD Recorder, mp3 player, etc.).

Note: If you connected the audio from the TV's AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to the Klipsch system, you'll need to turn off your TV's internal speakers and may need to adjust the audio setting in the TV's menu system. Locate your TV manual to get specific instructions, as the procedures differ for different brands and types of televisions.

CONNECTIONS page 9/10

4.TV Format: TV Format lets you choose between a standard TV screen and a Widescreen option. The Widescreen option has an aspect ratio of 16:9. If your TV has a 4:3 aspect ratio, select either the Standard or Letterbox option depending on your preference.

5.RDS (Radio Data System): RDS is the system that allows broadcasters to embed programming information in to the radio signal, such as the name of the artist or song. Your Klipsch system is RDS-enabled.

If you want to turn on RDS, choose On and press ENTER (the name of the radio station will appear on the Klipsch display).

Note: On most U.S. radio stations, artist and title information will appear with the “Station ID.”

6.WIRELESS: Your Klipsch CS-700 system uses KlipschCast wireless technology to transmit the subwoofer signal from the A/V center to

the subwoofer. The system is also capable if using KlipschCast to transmit any of its sources, on-board or auxiliary, throughout your home in CD quality. This signal can then be received and played by other Klipsch audio products using KlipschCast technology.

Selecting Subwoofer Only turns off the wireless broadcast to all KlipschCast components except the CS-700 subwoofer. For example, this might be done when viewing/listening to content on the CS-700 that you do not wish to broadcast to other KlipschCast components.

Selecting All Off will disable all wireless transmission including the subwoofer signal. This is primarily used for diagnostics.

7.HOME CODE: The Home Code feature allows you to select a unique channel for all your KlipschCast components to keep your content private and unavailable to other nearby systems. The Home Code default is 0 for all KlipschCast components and does not need to be changed unless other nearby KlipschCast systems interfere. All KlipschCast components (including your subwoofer) in your multi-room system must be on the same home code to interact with one another. To check or change the home code on the CS-700, select Home Code in the Setup Menu. From here you can see the selected Home Code and change it if necessary.

To check or change the Home Code on your subwoofer, ﬁnd the Home Code dial on the rear of the subwoofer. The dial can be rotated with a small ﬂat blade screwdriver to select the desired number. If you change the Home Code you must turn the subwoofer off and on again to reset the Home Code. The cinema system and subwoofer must be on the same Home Code to communicate wirelessly.

The display on the front of your Klipsch system provides playback information. The display illuminates each option that is active for the type of media you are playing. The numbers on the display let you know the track, title, and/or chapter number of the disc. Additionally, information from the radio’s RDS (Radio Data System), such as artist and track information, is displayed when you’ve tuned to the radio function. Below are explanations of display messages you may encounter that may not be covered in other parts of this manual.

Dolby® Digital

The trademarked marketing name for Dolby Laboratories’ AC-3 codec. The common version contains six total channels of sound, with ﬁve channels for normal-range speakers (Right Front, Center, Left Front, Right Rear and Left Rear) and one channel for the subwoofer. The Dolby Digital format also supports Mono and Stereo. Your Klipsch system supports Dolby Digital with its 2.1 audio system design.

DTS (Digital Theatre Systems)

A multi-channel surround sound format (rival of Dolby Digital). With DTS, the encoders and decoders support numerous channel combinations and stereo. DTS contains four-channel+LFE (Low Frequency Effects) audio tracks. Digital Theatre Systems was the name of the company that developed this format (currently referred to as DTS). Film director Steven Spielberg was one of the company’s initial investors. Spielberg ﬁlms use the DTS audio format.

The Basics

Switching between media—TV, DVD, Radio, CDs, etc.

Your Klipsch system is the center of your entertainment room...now, you just need to understand how to get from one type of entertainment to another. To move to a different type of media, press the corresponding button on the remote control (DISC, AM/FM, SAT/CAB) or keep pressing SOURCE on the front of your Klipsch system to access the different options.

When you turn on your Klipsch system, it tunes to the last source you used. The front panel indicates what source is active.

Progressive Scan TVs

On the back of your Klipsch CS-700 system, there is a progressive scan switch labeled P.SCAN. Progressive scan is a result of the digital TV transition—it is a process digital TVs can use to read and display broadcast signals. Progressive scan TVs display each pixel (picture element) of the signal consecutively line by line. All progressive scan TVs are digital, but not all digital TVs are progressive scan.

Some digital TVs only support the classic interlace display method that TVs have used since their inception. With interlace scanning, a TV draws every other line of the broadcast signal— ﬁrst, the even numbered lines and then the odd numbered lines. This process happens so quickly it tricks your eye so it appears as though you're seeing the entire picture.

ON	OFF
P.SCAN

If your digital TV is progressive scan, turn the P.SCAN switch to ON. Additionally, you must use the COMPONENT VIDEO connection (Y, PB, PR) from the Klipsch system’s VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to the progressive scan TV’s COMPONENT VIDEO (Y, PB, PR) INPUT jacks in order for progressive scan to work correctly. See Step 4 on page 5 for detailed instructions.

NOTE: If you put the P.SCAN switch in the ON position and your TV doesn’t support progressive scan, you won’t see a picture on the TV screen.

CHAPTER 2: REMOTE CONTROL

The universal remote control that came packed with your Klipsch system can be programmed to operate the basic functions of many other brands of audio and video components, such as TVs, satellite receivers, cable boxes, DVD players, and others. The design of the remote control groups the buttons to help you achieve better performance from your remote. In this section of the manual, you will learn the function of each button and how to program it to operate other brands of components. To use the remote control effectively, always aim it directly at the Klipsch controller.
