INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Digital Home Theater System. This deluxe audio theater system turns your home into a virtual theater. In addition to the incredible surround sound of a 5.1 channel audio source, such as your current DVD player, this system also superbly enhances your other audio sources, such as a CD player, VCR, or a cassette deck. The only thing you need to add is your own TV or other devices. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, but please, review this manual before you operate your system. Please have it handy while you are setting the system up; and keep it available for future reference, or in the unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected questions or problems. We have tried to keep this manual as simple as possible. It begins with how to connect the speakers, your TV, and other optional devices.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

Speaker System Connections

Connect the supplied speaker system using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the terminals to those of the cords.

IMPORTANT:

Before making connections, make sure the power is off. At the rear of each supplied speaker you will find two spring type connectors in different colors: a black one (-) and a red, blue or gray one(+).

(The Subwoofer does not have spring type connecting tabs at the

rear, only a set of black & green speaker wires from its back.)

QUICK SETUP DIAGRAM

The speaker wires and connectors are color coded for easier set up.

 Connect the Front Left speaker to the Front Left terminals.  Connect the Front Right speaker to the Front Right terminals.  Connect the Center speaker to the Center speaker terminals.  Connect the Rear Left speaker to the Rear Left terminals.  Connect the Rear Right speaker to the Rear Right terminals.  Connect the Subwoofer to the Subwoofer terminals.

IMPORTANT!

Only use the VIDEO OUT jack for a TV GAME or VIDEO CAMERA use. For DVD play, your DVD players VIDEO OUT must be connected to your TV set. For DVD use, connect your DVDs cable directly to your TV set. This Home Theater only improves the sound of your DVD. It does nothing to the video signal from your DVD.

NOTE

In your package you will find 6 sets of colored speaker wire pairs for connecting your Home Theater to the 6 different speakers:

 1 green and black pair of wires for the subwoofer which comes out of the back of the subwoofer (12 1/2 feet long).  2 grey and black pairs of wires (26 feet long) for connecting the rear speakers with grey and black terminals.  1 blue and black pair of wires (13 feet long) for the center speaker with blue and black terminals.  2 red and black pairs of wires (13 feet long) for the front speakers with red and black terminals.

IB-HT400-WM-E-110502

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

Tips for connecting the speaker wires

Push and hold the Speaker terminal tab down to insert each wire. Release the tab to lock the wire into the terminal. Make sure the wire is fully inserted, but the insulation is not covering the inserted part of the speaker wires.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

 Make sure the stripped end of each speaker wire does not

touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker wire.

Examples of poor connection of the speaker wires

 Stripped speaker wire is touching another speaker terminal.

Make sure not even 1 strand of wire touches the other wire!

NOTE:

Be sure to match the speaker wire to the appropriate terminal on the components: (+) to (+) (color), and (-) to (-) (black). If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack some tones. Follow the color codes of each speaker.

• Stripped wires are touching each other due to excessive

removal of insulation. Do not allow the above to happen on

your set or speakers.

IB-HT400-WM-E-110502

SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION

Your system is supplied with 4 compact sized satellite speakers, one slightly larger center speaker and one large subwoofer. The satellite speakers and the center speaker reproduce only the mid range and higher frequencies. All of the low frequency (bass) sounds are produced by the subwoofer. Proper positioning and placement of the speakers is important in order to provide the best surround sound experience. We understand that due to the size and shape of your listening room, and the location of your furniture, you may not be able to set up the speakers exactly as per these diagrams. However these simple guidelines will help you maximize your home theater experience.

Your Usual Seat

 Note the speaker levels are preset at the factory and most people

will not need to fine tune the sound of each speaker. We suggest you skip this part at first. Later on you can adjust the sound level of each individual speaker. See Page 22.

are color-coded, as are the speaker wires and the speaker

speaker terminals on the back of the

 For best surround sound effects, all 4 of the satellite speakers and

the center speaker should be roughly at the same distance from your usual listening position.

POSITION THE SPEAKERS LIKE THIS FOR OPTIMAL LISTENING EXPERIENCE

 All 4 satellite speakers and the center speaker should be placed approximately the same distance from your listening

position.

 The center speaker should be placed directly above (or below) the TV set. Left and right front speakers should be

approximately at the same height as the center speaker.

 The rear speakers should be either in line with, or behind your listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly

above.

 The subwoofer should be on the floor near the TV, or in any corner, with the front hole facing your listening position.  All speakers must be visible. Do not hide them behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.

IB-HT400-WM-E-110502

SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION

SATELLITE SPEAKERS

• The center speaker, as well as the other 4 satellite speakers,

can be positioned either vertically or horizontally.

• The left front, right front, and center speakers should be

placed at roughly the same height. The center speaker reproduces most of the dialog spoken by the actors on the TV screen, therefore it should be placed either directly above or below the center of the TV set. Once you position the center speaker, try to position the left front and right front speakers at the same height. It is not recommended to place any of the satellite speakers on the floor. Many people prefer to place the center speaker horizontally above the TV set.

• The left rear and right rear speakers can be placed in line

with your listening position or behind your listening position. Ideally they should be placed slightly above your ear level when you are seated in your normal listening position.

• We have provided 2-way keyhole openings on the backs of

all the satellite speakers that allow the satellite speakers to be wall mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position.

• The subwoofer will provide the most dramatic bass effects

(low frequency sounds like explosions and thunder) when it is placed on the floor. Do not place the subwoofer on a stand or table. The subwoofer should be placed in the front of the room so that it is facing towards your listening position. It can be placed on either side of the TV or even in the corner of the room, as far away as the cable will allow. The bass sounds from the subwoofer are non-directional. You will not really be able to tell where the bass is coming from.

• LONG ROOMS - In case your room is unusually long, you

may buy speaker wires from your dealer for adding wire length to your speakers. Be careful not to allow the plus + and minus - wires to touch each other. Use electrical tape or plastic connectors to insulate the wires from each other.
