Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING
Ensure that your amplifier and receiver is switched off before connecting the speakers.
Make sure that you have connected the plus (+) and minus (–) terminals of each speaker to the
corresponding plus (+) and minus (–) terminals on the amplifier or receiver.
Before connecting the subwoofer to a power outlet, make sure that the operating voltage of your local
power supply is identical to that specified for the subwoofer (
20v U.S. and CAN).
Ensure the subwoofer is off before connecting the input signal cable on its internal amplifier.
Make sure that all screws on the binding posts are snug, especially if you are using bare speaker wires.
Contact between bare speaker wires may cause short-circuit and can potentially damage your equipment.
Continuously driving a low power amplifier at high power levels can cause distortion of the signal,
amplifier clipping and may cause severe damage to your speakers. High power amplifiers will deliver
better performance.
Do not drive speaker units with a continuous wattage exceeding the maximum power indicated in this
instruction manual for each speaker model.
For the best performance possible use the high quality speaker and interconnect cables.
Do not place loudspeakers in dusty or humid environments.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
CAUTION
Your StreamLine
1
00 speakers come with electronically protected tweeters to avoid overheating problems that can
cause damage. However for even greater protection, avoid extremely high volumes in your amplifier that can distort
audio signals or cause severe damage to your amplifier and your speakers.

In many systems, delay calibration is measured in meters, not feet from the hearing position.
Adjust the crossover frequency between
The adjustment of crossover frequency takes place through a technique called bi-amplification in which
the lower frequencies are being amplified exclusively by the subwoofer’s built-in amplifier. This improves
the frequency response of a home theater audio system, lowers the signal distortion, and increases
the dynamic range.
